That is a lovely guitar. It has such a come hither and strum me look.

Thanks for commenting!

The glue doesn’t soak into Koa much, it’ the black going into the white Holly that’s the problem. Expoxy tends to heat up when setting which seems to accelerate soaking. Titebond just doesn’t heat up. Soaking the Holly in ca helps too!


I have never had anyone say that about one of my guitars before, I love it!
Thanks John

Love those rosewood necks
 

The Lullaby guitar went through the weekend strung up and the neck didn't move one iota. You gotta love a rosewood neck!
They feel great and are as stiff as can be. So I made the Macassar Ebony tuner buttons and the went ahead and made the permanent bone saddle.
I even took some pictures;

I'll try to get a sound clip up but, I don't have much time as this should be ready to ship first thing next week.

Thanks for viewing!

Beautiful!

Thanks ross748!

Wow, Mark...an absolutely stunning work. The Carter redwood has an awesome artifact look about it. I can't wait to hear her sing!

What a stunning guitar! Love the name, the shape, the appointments...

That guitar is just beautiful.......congrats to the lucky owner! Geezzz, it's gorgeous!

Wow, one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever seen! Well done!!

Well I can tell you she has a great voice! I’m hoping to have a sound clip made this weekend.

Thanks! We were going for Goldilocks bling, not too much, not too little.

Thanks for commenting!

Thank you! This model has been quite popular for me since I added it to my line. It’s definitely the snuggliest which made it a shoe in for a lullaby guitar!

Thanks for all the comments!

I'm almost at the point of no longer commenting on your posts Mark, it's hard to type and wipe up the drool at the same time!!:D:D

Beautiful

I am sure the lucky owner will be thrilled

when I look at your builds!

I don't comment here in the Custom Build section much; it seems redundant masochism to rise from the floor after fainting and try to type praise ;)
We have so many extraordinary builders presenting here!
YOU are an artist, Mark.

Thanks Naboz, Your comments are very much appreciated. Especially when they're this funny! :)
