Then the scavenger clamps have to eat their fill.

Then we trim up the top to the sides and take a look.

Pretty good so far. Thanks for watching!

Oh my. It’s an Oreo guitar. Makes me want a cookies and cream milkshake. Also, it makes me want this guitar.

Oh man, now you got me craving cookies. Also, Jeff’s probably not giving up this guitar...but I still have that Oregon Myrtle you liked so well (and plenty more wood :) ).

Whoa ... that thing is gorgeous Steve ... looking forward to following this!

Lead me not into temptation...

This guitar will be a keeper....watching it get built is truly a gift.

I agree, maybe this one needs to come to Spring Branch next March!!!!

It may not be allowed out of the house!

Thanks jojo, it's pleasing to know we can inspire on more than one level!

Thank you David, what an honor.

Steve

Well, it is a rather compact guitar, so it will be easy to travel with. And you'll want to show it off, yes? ;)

Steve

Yes! You are right about that!

Man, that looks really sweet!

Thanks Justonwo! Here’s some pics of neck and fretboard work.

Gluing up the laminated neck: mahogany, wenge, and maple.
