The purfling, the purpleheart binding, the blue spruce top, the rosewood back and sides--it all looks wonderful and so tastefully done.

This is gonna be one sweet little guitar!

Well thank you! This guitar was a lot of fun to build, but it's even more fun to play. I believe Bob will enjoy this, and we're about to find out. He's coming to pick it up next weekend. Thanks for following along!

Steve

Wouldn't he?! You know he ruined me with his approach to color.
Thanks for the kind word!

Bob, have you been at the bottle again? Looks to me like strings are on buddy haha. The excitement just must be too much for you to handle...I think I better pick this one up for you just to save your heart!!!! AND BTW, is that purple heart inlayed across the nut? Too cool.

Must be nice to have gotten to be the first one to play every single Kinnaird Guitar that has left the shop over the years...



...small benefit for seeing all your hard work ultimately ending up in someone else’s hands! Thanks Steve and Ryan for all your hard work on this one!

And check out that cool shirt!

It came out great. Those strings almost look like they belong on there!!!! The purpleheart is really a nice touch and the purflings give it that wonderful ole time feel....Now, how will she sound? Fantastic I believe.

Bob, this was a pleasure. And yes, one of the perks of this job is getting to play these creations. As well as model the latest fashions!
