Your new guitar should fit right in. Beautiful place you got there.

So, back to guitars, yes? Here is our prototype 00, just strung up.
Before "risking" a customer's wood, we do a test run to make sure everything works when introducing a new model. This little baby is quartersawn Spanish Cedar wth a Sitka top. As there was no remarkable grain to highlight, we "burst" it head to toe. I'm a fan of a good sunburst, and this one was a lot of fun.
To ease Bob's mind: it all worked.

Well, our last model to introduce was the P-1, our parlor model.
I'll have to check the records to see what we did with that but we just might have sunburst that one, too.... These old shapes look so good dressed up with a burst!

Yes, it looks very 'right'. Nice job. The graduation is very good. Hans Brentrup is a guy who I think is super too with graduated finishes.

Thanks, stringjunky, high praise indeed. It is still sad that Hans had to hang up his apron. That was a loss to the guitar-playing (as well as building) world. His work still inspires!
