Official Luthiers Forum!

Many of you will have recently seen pictures here of Joshua's Cypress guitar with the Tornavoz, complete with the stunning rosette and rope purfling, a true masterpiece of a guitar and one that I really covet. Well the customer thought the same and has posted a site dedicated to the build of this guitar. Joshua is too modest a chap to post the link here for you guys to see but has allowed me to do so, in my capacity as President of the Joshua French appreciation society.

Please go look at this site.

Colin,

Thanks for the link. Joshua is a true craftsman and world class builder. Just wait, we will be saying, "I knew him then."

yeah, that's a stunning instrument on every level. Great work on all the rosette and all the purflings.

It takes a strong Englishman to admit an appreciation for anything French!

GREAT CAESAR'S GHOST, that's a beautiful guitar! CarltonM38884.677650463

That's the firefox error, the internet explorer error is the typical "Page cannot be found."

That's so pretty it hurts.

I got to see this before any finish was applied, and I can attest that Joshua's work is nothing short of amazing.

Well done! (Thanks for the link, Colin.)

Must be Firefox. I just tried it again, and it worked for me (Internet Explorer).

BTW, my socks were knocked off again!

That is absolutely outstanding! Fantastic instrument. The attention to detail and worksmanship is top drawer for sure...
