Datlen OM-C Swiss/ABW Build Thread
Quick update and some picks of a different guitar Johns working on! Update is that I think we are going with a darker Martin-esque brown on the neck with a black burst (so cool) to tie in with the ABW.
And for a lack of pics until the finish is done...John just sent me these of a gorgeous HOG OM he is building. The materials are beautiful and again, everything is so clean!!

Fantastic, congratulations! I really enjoyed reading through the build. These photos were enough to singlehandedly have me adding an ABW guitar of some kind to my wish list. Fantastic looking; those pics when it came back from the finish shop all shiny? .. made me giddy inside, and it isn't even my guitar! LOL.
Happy for you, can't wait for the review once you've spent some time with it. Congrats!! Scott
