I have just finished my 13th guitar and I thought I’d post some pics. It plays and sounds great!

Grand Auditorium
Red spruce top
Wavy bubinga (from Bob) back and sides
Ebony binding
Ebony fingerboard & bridge
Abalone soundhole rosette
Gotoh gold tuners
Nitro lacquer finish

Thanks for looking!

Wonderful classic look. That pickguard might just change my mind about using pickguards!

Colby, it'll be a very lucky guy that's gets your #13!

Man, that's a keeper! (It IS a keeper right? Or must it leave the nest? If so, someone's gonna be a very happy guitar owner!).

Great work, Colby. I really like the body shape. Is it your own design or it's as of Taylor?
