Well since Hesh and I seem to work at the same rediculous pace, here are
a couple of picts of what I am working on. Both are identical in
construction.
OM-14's 24.9 Zootman's spruce bracing. Both will have his ebony binding
as well. Both to be delivered to customers before Christmas. I decided to
build the bodies and then do the necks.

One is all Koa from LMI
the other is Shanes Lutz top with a cocobolo B&S from LMI
For getting this set of cocobolo sight unseen, I think it is the best I have
had
yet. (This is my 5th cocobolo guitar) The sides are especially nice.

Stunning wood and your usual impecible workmanship.

I've been waiting three weeks to close the boxes on my pair. It has been over 100 degrees in my shop (108 one day) for the past three weeks. I'm working on a plan for climate control, but for now, I just have to wait for a good day.

Wow! Andy, they both look very nice. I hate you for how fast you can build. Excellent work, really!
