Andy,
Beauty! Nice balance of flash and good taste. It's a real attention getter and I'm sure it sounds just as good as it looks.

Keep it up,

Great work love, love the back wood, are in inlays TGC for Taking Gare of Cuissness?

Post subject: 

I agree Andy - that is one of the prettiest guitars I have seen in a long
while.

And I know I have good taste.

Andy,

That sure is a beauty! You should be proud. What's the binding?

Post subject: 

I love the abalone on the fingerboard--how did you do it? What kind of binding is on the body, I can't tell? It beautiful!!!!

Author:  Andy Zimmerman [ Thu Feb 16, 2006 11:58 am ]
Post subject: 

The answers
TGC are the initials of the person it was built for.
The body binding is boring old black plastic...sorry woodlovers, soon I will
work with wood binding.
As far as the abalone up the fretboard, I bind all my fretboards. (Only an N
of 7) That is the ebony outside the abalone. Real wood not plastic. But, 1st I
routed a channel for the abalone, then bound the board, then inlayed the
pieces between the fret slots.
Thanks for the kind words
Andy

Hesh
You don't want this one...The one with the flamed redwood top, Rosewood
sides SJ looks much better....oh......that is YOURS!!!!!!!
Andy

Post subject: 

Trade would be awesome...considering this one is not mine....and the
flamed redwood/IRW has no initials on it.....
Consider it done.

That redwood top is awesome...I assume it was from the Zootman
Based on your pict...I order 2 sets of tops from him...
