New Commissions for 2020 Delivery - Hatcher & Robbins
 

I have a Mark Hatcher Josie Small Jumbo (Alpine Moon Spruce - The Fiddleback Tree Mahogany) due in January-February.

Also have an Tyler Robbins R.1ca (Engleman Spruce - Madagascar Rosewood) starting in 2020.

More on the books but post 2020 start dates.

LOL. I'll be the guy buying the Yamaha FS800 from the guy who bought the Taylor 114 from the guy who bought the Martin D15M from the guy who bought the Gibson J45 from the guy who bought the Collings DS1 from the guy who bought that previous custom from the guy who's buying one of the guitars in this thread.

So thank you, whoever you are.

A Kostal body tbd German spruce over pernambuco, and a LeGeyt smoky spruce over tortoise shell Tree.

Wow, nice job with those! Can't go wrong there.

A Kostal 12 fret OMC in German Spruce/Koa. I think mid year build at last update from Jason. We have the Koa set picked out and ready.

John Monteleone is building me a 00 12 fret cutaway with Side-Sound.

It'll be a maple & red spruce shallow-body with a very large neck & large SS fret wire. The color will be a particularly gorgeous red that John's done on a couple of mandolins.

This will be my second Monteleone.

The big difference NOW is that when I ordered my first one in 1976, I hadn't one clue about what I was as a player, so I ordered 'buzz words'.

It's 24 years later, and I've got some clues.

I wish everyone a very merry Christmas, a Happy Chanukah and a healthy & prosperous New Year. See you all, if the fates allow, in 2020.

Regards,
Howard Emerson

Ralph Bown OO, Lutz over BR; expected July!

Howard, hopefully if John takes some photos along to way, you can share them on AGF....:)

This sounds like it will be a beauty for sure. I have not had a chance to play a Kostal in Koa.

Best,
Jayne

Throw in a a side of sweet potato fries and this is all sounding really yummy. :)
I'll follow those build threads.

Best,
Jayne

Another two build threads that I can distract myself with. Those two sound like they will be fabulous.

Best,
Jayne

I know your Nautilus will be an awesome guitar that I'm looking forward to watching come to life.

And Walnut/redwood would be a mighty tasty combination! Will this Taran be done in time for BIG(er)?
