Yup, my heartbeat just elevated considerably! Great work, Mark. Your sense of design is impeccable.

We rarely see "upscale" all-mahogany guitars and this one looks wonderful.

Mark's thoughtful design is truly remarkable.

Another magnificent Hatcher! Kinda takes your breath away!

Thanks Maui! When you take away the fancy woods you gotta hope the design alone is enough to carry the day!

Don't stop breath'n yet! I've got a lot more guitars to build.

Thanks for following along!

Looks absolutely wonderful.

[Mark Hatcher]

This one is now off to the finisher so this one will go quiet for awhile as we do the wait.

Here are some update pics. The first clear coats are now going on;

Perfect, Mark! Just what we were talking about....a relatively simple but elegant looking guitar that celebrates the natural appearance and tone of this amazing billet of mahogany. Thanks for posting.

This looks even cleaner under finish!
Loving this one Mark!

[jaymarsch]

Very beautiful. I look forward to hearing reports about tone after it gets all dressed up in its strings.

Best,
Jayne

So, from a mathematical perspective, the following may be true as well:

Simplicity + Understated Elegance = Stunningness

But, this is not true:

Stunningness + Understated Elegance = Simplicity

Right? I don't know....as an Art Historian, such things baffle me!


One indisputable quasi-mathematical truism:

Mark Hatcher + Great Tone Woods = Killer Guitar

Breathtakingly beautiful.
Superb job.
Love it.
