Default Wren Remuda Hybrid : Lutz / Macassar

Hi Folks!

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted anything of my own here ... partly because we moved our house of 36 years at the same time as moving my shop (wouldn't recommend it!) ... and partly because I'm trying to cut down my time on the computer.

Thought I'd post a build thread on this one though. It's a commission from a customer in New York, with a stunning Lutz top (possibly the best I've ever used) and a gorgeous set of Macassar back and sides. It's my "Remuda Hybrid" model with an RFX (raised fingerboard extension).

Here's a shot of the new shop ... and some shots of the guitar in production.



Putting the shop to bed after the first day of production!

Put me down for another welcome back. I have missed watching your builds as well as the fantastic videos playing your builds in the background!!! I can't wait to see more.

Welcome back David. I've wondered where you have been and now this explains your absence. I hope to never experience moving moving my shop
