Love the "terrible chisels" drawer.

Doesn't anyone else think that rack of clamps looks like something out of a medieval torture dungeon?

The drawer is hilarious!

Parts of the shop definitely look like a torture dungeon. You have very sharp objects, clamps, side bending machines, sanders, saws, etc!

Thanks Josh! It's all in Jason's hands!

Do you know what number you are? You can read it off Jason's labels on the pics.

The man is nothing if not organised, indeed to an OCD degree.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately I do not. I haven't spoken to Jason recently. I am just waiting for him to contact me, with some pics I hope. Will you be posting any new videos soon? The last one you did ``comparison om vs MD `` was great!

Thanks for posting the pics. His shop is really something else. I hope to be able to get down there later this year and check it out and look at woods for my OM. Keep the pics and updates coming so I can live through your build in the meantime.

Can't wait to see your build! What woods are you looking for your OM?

Neck blanks, binding material, step stool

And a bunch of spruce!

European looks small?

Thanks for uploading more pics. I am going with German/Mad Rose as of now. I had a good talk and he felt that would give me the sound I am after. I still have yet to play one of his guitars but I am hoping I can do that when I am there in November.

You are in for a treat, I saw Jason's Madagascar and is unbelievable!

Here are pics of a guitar that was going to Hawaii

a little burst on the neck:

really cool endgraft

CoolerKing · #**177** 08-31-2015, 06:47 PM

you're right that's an awesome end graft!

rlxnply · #**178** 09-02-2015, 08:05 PM

I really like the burst on the neck. I will have to keep that in mind for my build. Really looking forward to getting out there an checking out his shop in November. I grew up not to far from where he is at.

The burst on the neck really is something else, isn't it?

Here are pics from of Jason working on the bridge of the guitar. He said this was the scariest part (scrapping the finish off where the bridge will lay)

Thanks Eric!

Doubtless a fun trip!

I also spy something heading my way ... walnut MDC no 77 below.

Backs and tops together

And I assume the rims on the far left.

Rims together

Not mine, but that Koa is outrageous! On the far left, is that a leftie with a redwood (or poss cedar?) top?

Bodies together
