That's Rich Lance!
Nice combo of woods all around.
Is that a redwood top or cedar?
Fabulous.
I bet it sounds as good as it looks.

Thanks fellas -
its an LS redwood top -via Hank Mauel and a set of cocobolo I got from Chris at LMI. The bindings came from Pegasus and are flamed Koa - im hoping to get it back and strung up in 3 weeks.

I really like that little line of sapwood on the back and sides. Very nicely understated ornament.

Looks great. I also like the sapwood below the binding, something else I'd never think of. Looks like Tony has a nice setup and does a great job.

thanks Don- John --
Working with the sapwood and trying to get it right were i wanted it was fun..
I have to admit, ive spent more than a few hour staring at Paul McGills work, I think he really knows how to use sapwood in a guitar..

Lance...What kind of jig do you uise for your slots? It looks different (better) than that produced from LMI's jig.

This is just a great guitar all around...congratulations.

nope not mine.. I bet it is Del's cause he finishes his guitars with the neck
attached.

I have a European/Ziricote Jumbo Parlor there. (should be done anytime
now)
