Default 3rd Applegate

New to the forum, but wanted to share a few pics of my 3rd build from Brian Applegate. Brian has built guitars for each of our children as heirloom pieces they will take with them when they leave the nest. :-) Baby 4 just came this Summer and looking forward to build 4 soon!

This one was for our 3rd child. It's a Tunnel 13 top with coco b/s. Baby 3 was our "rainbow baby" after a previous miscarriage and Brian did the headstock inlay from a rainbow design on the blanket we brought him home in.

In all 3 builds, Brian has been a true joy to work with. Such an unbelievably kind man. Somehow, he's captured the real essence of each of our kids in these instruments. Very thankful!

Default transfer

for my two children I have more guitars than good wishes and both of them are music enthusiasts , but none of them plays guitar and therefore they are rather old it doesn't look that they ever would pick a guitar. So my wishes for you are, that you could transfer your enthusiasm to your children.

all the best

As a builder and luthier, Brian Applegate is a certified bada$$. Congratulations on No.3, he will come up with something special for No.4. Keep 'em coming..
