Coincidence or destiny?
Are we making a MJ?

Mandolins-253
Guitars- (BD...before disco) 9, (AD...after disco) around 16. I quit numbering instruments.

[archtopGeek]

I am on (minus)100th. How come I am the only one with the count being negative?

I have never built a Luthier, but I'd be willing to try!

[Cornerstone Guitars]

I have 42,43,44 and 45 on the bench.

[harvl]

I haven't numbered everything what I have is just over 350 acoustics, about 80% 6 string flattops, the remaining 20% archtop, acoustic bass, baratone ect.
...another 20 or 30 electrics...
and
about 40 custom "Leach" Voyage Airs.

You might be better off just cloning B Sexauer.

As for me, #s 1, 2 and 3 are at various stages of completion. Having not completed any of them yet, I am not actually a luthier (yet).

Some day, some day......

[D.Kwasnycia]

Number 85 in the works.

I have thought about that but if we make it an MJ, I'm affraid it will probably leave me after several good years, start to smoke cigars all day and stink up my house, spend tens of thousands of dollars (I don't have) on golf games it can't win and start hanging out with girls it should not be with.

I figure we are making a Saville TS squared= (my 3 kids--Tyler, Sam, Savannah) !

[Coke_zero]

I must say, it is very impressive to see people who I personally think are fantasic builders in reletively "low" numbers. Looking at some of the guitars made, one could think that builder has made hundreds of guitars.


***note*** I put "low" but we all know that it takes a long time to make just 1 guitar, but you know what I mean!

My #8, a cedar and walnut L-00 inspired flat-top is almost ready for the french polish. Up next is another archtop and my first mandolin.
