Travis, Thanks for the "vote" of confidence. And yes, we've considered green as well...the trend seems to be "go green" and so thought we'd be accommodative

Thank you. I think it is growing on John and I. I had thought, as Travis pointed out, that the sapwood alone in the middle might be too plain.

Looks like another incredible beauty on the way!!!

Have fun and play pretty!

Cheers

Paul, you are SOOO right. Just listed two in the last few days. With my Charis still unsold, gotta raise some funds. John is "perkin'" right along with this build. At this pace, I may have it next week

[invguy921]

I guess all of us would agree that although the outsides are really important, the insides are what keeps the blessed thing ringing and staying together...both VERY important to me ha!

So here are a couple of pictures of John securing the linings and the added support for the soundport

Yup. An inside job. Really coming along.

Tom, You notice things many people don't notice...great eyes! John has recently created this very cool little piece of wood inlaid with the letter "K" that you see. It is a combination of white and gold MOP. It will be peeking out that middle peep hole at everyone who looks at this little guitar.

John has always been a little more "subtle" in his approach to branding, but I LOVE this idea. I wish it had been my idea lol

[SnowManSnow]

That's going to look outstanding under a finish

Very nice touch of logo branding!!!

Man, this beauty is smokin' up the tracks.

Best on your sales. Mike you sure are juggling super fine guitars at top speed!

John, this is another BEAUTY

CHEERS

It looks great, where will the serial number and date of production end up though?

In the file cabinet in my head...now that IS scary ha!

I'm sure John will find a special spot Tom.

My gosh that wood just jumps out at you!

[Hawkeyetennis]

Beautiful wood! That's a great logo also. I hope John uses that logo on my build.

I put a small label with that info stuck on the top where you can see it through the sound port, If you hold the guitar just right.
That would be stuck on the inside of the top of course.

Ross, I'm sure that I am not the only one here who would LOVE to see your build in process . We all love to see gorgeous guitars as they are built and I am sure that yours is going to be a stunner!
