This. Leo is making some aesthetic choices here that are a bit different than what he's done in the past. A few different, lovely choices

Thanks Guys!

Leo is a Bawse for sure! If this build is a little different than most of what we've seen from Leo, I believe It’s because he has really taken the time to understand what I’m hoping for. I’m leaning a bit toward the traditional side, nothing too bling. So far Leo has met or surpassed all of my request and expectations.

The neck is set and ready for shaping.



Some guy getting dust all over Leo's bench.

Leo sent the guitar out for the Nitrocellulose stage finish work and it should be back any time now. Next it will be out for French Polish to the top. Here are a few more photos that Leo was kind enough to send before the guitar went out for finish work.
