Hey Russ,

Congratulations! That's the longest look we've had into your process, and it looks good. Nice clean workmanship, and a lovely guitar shaping up there.
And that coverage (advertising) isn't too shabby either!

Steve

Russell, I've heard his guitars, and I've heard yours. Personnaly I'd be happy, even priviliged to own either, both are among the best guitars I've heard in 40 years of playing. Better yet though I could have at least five of yours for one of his!

Colin

Congrats Russell, you make some fine looking and (judging form Colin's post) sounding guitars! Also good job on the photos, are they done by your wife (it said "All photography by: Sheila Rose" in the article)?

Thank you Arnt

The not so good Photos on the build articles I took, but all the high quality shots of the finished guitar were taken by my wife Sheila.

Russell, fantastic guitar. I'm really like the finish you guys are using and hope that it will catch on over on this side of the pond. That wood needs no help to look good.

Russell,

Definitely!! A for Artisan!!

That would have made a great 60's group name - "Arty Zan and the Stringbenders"
