Thanks. And yes absolutely, he is very professional, honest and wants every single guitar to be perfect for his clients.

Top class builder !

Simple and elegant and stylish. Beautiful!

Looks great! Any chance you have any pictures of the body side bevel? Would love to how it looks.

Hahaha, I've asked that as well already, but it's not perfectly cleaned up yet, so no picture at the moment.

I've asked small bevels just for ergonomic purpose. I have both arm and ribs bevels. The ribs Bevel is a first for Joel.

Stay tuned !

Good to keep up the suspense :D

Hi guys,

Update : The guitar is ready for finish and i've got a bunch of pictures to share with you. Very eye candy !!

Now starts the long wait. Joel's finisher does an amazing job but it can take him quite a long time (up to 8 weeks in some cases depending on his schedule). Then once Joel gets the guitar back he needs another month to finish it. That means another 3 months of wait.

I'm very pleased with the result so far !

Enjoy !!

Joel is so thoughtful that he adds a "blade" at the back of his headstock joint. This way it becomes a weapon in case someone would want to steal this guitar from me.

My goodness Kate! That takes my breath away. Beautiful. :)

Joel gets better and better. Beautiful design.

I never tire of seeing fine workmanship and attention to detail...and these photos show that this guitar looks like an excellent example of that... just see how clean the lines are...

I was in his shop two weeks ago and saw this guitar under construction. Wow!

Lucky ! Do you plan on having your own Michaud made ?

Classic Joel perfection. You have got to be pleased.

Absolutely stunning build. But you already knew that ;)

Congratulations man! Can't wait till you receive it!!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BUILD! The crisp clean lines will really pop under finish. Now its just a waiting game.
