I can't wait to see and hear you play this one in person.....

Thanks, Matt. When I started, I didn't know if I wanted to bling it out D-45 style or keep it simple. I decided that since I was going for a traditional vibe, i.e., 12 fret slope shoulder Dreadnaught, I'd keep it simple.

I'm really looking forward to getting it. Still shooting for Thanksgiving, I think.

One more before the neck is joined.

I like the simpler style. Looking forward to seeing it completed as well. Am will never sound so good!

I've been practicing my Am chord. I should have it down by Thanksgiving. LOL

My other Kinnaird also has a tree and moon headstock design which I love. I wanted to make it a set but wanted something just a bit different. Since I'm now in the Pacific NW, this seemed perfect!

Nice! Can almost hear the wolf call off in the distance.

Finish phase almost complete.

Tripper it looks great. I am really liking that set of wood you chose. I really like the wood binding and the rosette as well. Looks like you will have a guitar to play soon!

My goodness Tripper, that is looking very nice! Shouldn't be long now. Sleeping nights?

Thanks, guys! Still shooting for pre-Thanksgiving, I hope! I'm very anxious to get it, but in a good way.

HI Tripper...

Such a truly elegant looking guitar!!! If it sounds as good as it looks...and/or...sounds as good as the Kinnaird you brought to Matt's place, then WOW...just...WOW!!!

Best Regards
