Now that is a great guitar name, Lazy Dog. That is looking great Andy. You and Hesh should have a friendly race sometime cause both of you guys are really really fast at building as a hobby.

Oh, and what are you using for side supports? I see a faint line and it looks like something clear is being used. Please let us know. |

Rod - The side supports are bias tape....1st time. Boy do I need to iron better. Peter, it very well might be. I got this set from LMI about 6 months ago. It was very inexpensive!!!! Lazy Dog Guitars. My wife came up with that name when I was building my first guitar. I actually have the trademark. |

We your friends all know you well enough for you not to explain, Besides Lacey would let us all know if you were out of line with a post something like this. I regret to inform you all that your friend Hesh is no longer with us. Tonight when I came home I found him in a pool of HHG in the bathtub with his side bending blanket draped across his end graft. Honestly, I don't know how this could have happened. I'm very sad indead and will miss him dearly. The last thing he said to me was, "Well dear, I hope you like Brazilian Rosewood, cause we're going to need to clear out our bedroom soon." PS. I have a fair amount of "Zoot" as he loved to call it that I can't bare to look at anymore, could some of you please please please send me your address' so I can just clear this stuff out. I know that Hesh loved you all dearly, but I just couldn't take it.....er.......um....... Take care Love Lacey OF COURSE YOUR KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Al Yep I build in batches...sort of. I don't have any spray equip, so I have been sending my guitars to Tony F for finishing. One day I want to learn French Polish. So when he has a guitar, I am on the next. Actually I was building 2 together. The one I posted last week and an all Koa OM. Identical construction. That one is being finished as we speak, so it will be done in about 6 weeks. I am nuts!!!! Just ask my wife. I swear I will slow down. Especially after Ervins Course. I want to absorb all what the master teaches. I am sure my guitars aren't as clean as all of yours. I have been massively fortunate, that once I build my 1st, I got a bunch of commisions. (15 of them) People are absolutely nuts!!!!! There are so many better instruments out there. Once I "catch up" with the order list, I WILL slow down a bit. Some of the orders have deadlines but most don't. I told them I won't rush. It has to be built correctly. 2 are due this Christmas. (The Cocobolo OM just posted and the all Koa getting its finish) That is why I built the 2 of them together. Sometimes it is easier when you have jigs set up to do more than one at a time. I have been extremely lucky |
