Geegollywhoppers!  John that is a fantastic guitar. The mahogany and dark brazilian binding combination look great together and your photography really shows it off. Nice job, but from you we expect no less. Is the top perfling a cutoff from the sides?

Thanks , and yes the top sandwiched purfling is a cutoff curly mahogany from the sides... came out really groovy I think. Thanks for all the nice compliments guys. |

Beautiful guitar John, with outstanding attention to detail. You've just got to love that mahogany, and the Lutz looks great. I've got an OM planned using the same combination (But Mad Rose bits) so I'd be interested to know what you think of the sound. The stuff on this forum just gets better and better. Colin |

As for the sound. The first thing that struck me was how forceful and loud it was. I have not played it much yet (I normally let em sit for a few days before I go to town much on em) but I'll report back in when I get a good feel for the tone. |
