Hello all. This is my second build. Adi top, koa rosette and EIR. FB, bridge and headplate are Macassar ebony.







And a little comparison to my No. 1...



And last but by far the least, a picture of a growly bear!!!



If that's not good advertisement for the OLF, I don't know what is!

Thanks for your kind words my friend. Yes, I've speeded up things a touch this time around... Now that I have all the tools I need (but not necessarily, all the ones I want)...

   The Adi. sure looks nice and stiff... A little on the streaky side of things, but that's the just the way it is, I guess...

   Cheers

Yogi here says your guitars are 2 beautiful sisters! WTG Alain, you sure are quick and no 2 looks as promising as no 1!



Did you really have to put my pic there?

Nice stuff - seeing the Mr Sunbear there, always puts a smile on my face.
I like the look of those axes! one sort of even looks a bit tele'ish to my eye - mabye its the angle of the shot, as in camera.
very cool.
Cheers

Thanks Charlie! My first was a loose copy of my takamine. This second one is a shape I drew myself. I call it, Mod. Dread...    I pretty much just took a dread. shape, dropped the shoulders, widened the bouts and tucked in the waist...

Nice axe. I like the more rounded bottom on the new one.

Thanks for your kind words guys.


Dave, yes I bend everything on the pipe. I'm thinking about using a fox type bender though...
