These guitars are heading off for finish on Monday. I'll carve the necks, make bridges and get going on the La Conner guitars while they're out.

It has been a while since I've seen such "simple" appointments. But I am really loving how clean and refreshing it looks! The choice of woods really fall in line with it too, being great examples of clean and perfectly quartersawn sets.

Thanks folks! It's my intent to create instruments that look, feel and sound great without any one aesthetic element stealing the show.

Both the cocobolo and mahogany guitars will be back from finish soon. I’d better get these necks carved.
