There's too little "real estate" to work on and I wanted to keep the amount of work to a minimum. As soon as I find a damaged Big Baby I'll do the full works on it!

Very pretty inlay. What about putting a full-gloss finish on it?

Bah, just record it with your digital camera and throw it up on Youtube, everybody knows that's a good way to tell what a guitar sounds like

Peter,
Very nice! I think the enlarged soundhole looks better. The abalone rosette sure does. Would love to hear this little beauty. So... ahem... what would you charge for a service like this? JR |
