Here is the Taz black wood Dread im building, Tonys wife just shot me these pics. I got this wood from Don Williams a few years back, I knew it had potential to look good, but this is ridiculous!

Awesome!!! Love the combination with the snakewood binding.
Looks like today is picture day from Jill Ferguson. She sent me picts of mine
too. In the backround I saw 3-4 other guitars. It looks like a bunch of us
are keeping Tony Busy. Clearly yours is the nicest Lance. Just stunning!!!!
Mine is the front one with the sunburst neck and Mac Ebony....a parlor guitar
Pict wont upload...

Very nice lance, I am just surprised at how good that snakewood looks with the TBwood. Is that Tony's standard polyester finish?

Andy, that ebony guitar looks great. The neck burst is a stroke of genius. It returns all the colors of the body very well.

.[/QUOTE]

John, I saw it in my minds eye as looking good, but I must admit, in the white I was doubting myself, It all sort of blended together. But now with finish on it, its just as I had hoped it would be.
That is Tony's Urethane finish. LanceK38803.5565856481

You guys quit it. Dang, I'm considering subbing out my finishing. Great job Lance and Andy. I love the Taz and the Macassar. The burst on the slotted neck shows some real class. Superwork guys!

Nice pics. While I don't build like the rest of you do, I couldn't help but comment...Lance, yours looks absolutely stunning, a truly beautiful guitar, and what a great wood purchase from Don. And Andy, yours has more of the "WOW!" effect, a really unique look.

Great job guys!

Doh! It said so in the first sentence, but I kept looking at the pictures and I guess my mind went blank!

Very Nice Guitar Lance, and your usual very, very clean build.

Tell me is that some new shape you have invented
