I just finished the guitars I'm taking to Newport so I thought I'd show them to you. I put up a web page of the Guits here:

No favorites here -- I do like 'em all! Hey that's pretty good work for a guy recovering from a bum leg.

Nice to see output from the McElroy shop has picked up! Good luck with those head turners in RI!

I was hoping to make it to Newport (not to exhibit, just to check it out), but I'm not going to be able to.   

Next time I'll be there.

Beautiful guitars, Brent. I hope the gig goes well for you.

Brent, those look fantastic! I'm really glad you stopped in to share those with us here.
I hope to bump into you again this year there.
Hey, this should jog some memories for you....

For all those who want to see Brent at the last Newport show...here's his pic:



I noticed that you seem to have switched to a laminated neck? Looks great, but then that's what I use too. I'm just a tad partial to it...

Brent buddy! I wish I could make it but am in Calgary for work (and escaping the heat in Toronto ) then off for a little R&R with my wife.   Drop me a note when you return from RI ok.

Have a great time at the show!

I have a few going as well, two Parlors and an OM.
This is an ebony Parlor. It features boxwood bindings and koa trim. It also has a long scale for a little guitar at 640 mm.










And this one is an Parlor made of Yew b&s/Cedar top



No good pics of the OM to show here, it's a Brazilian style 41.
So I invite any OLF folks attending Newport, to please come and say hello!

Wow, Rob--very nice! You've been holding out on us! I've seen photos of your work before, but it's always good to have a reminder now and then. Good luck at the Fest.
