Default A little Bob Thompson OM preview, now with photos

A while back, I discussed building a nice OM. I discussed specs and kinda left it at that. It was an insanely busy summer with work. I called Bob the other day to ask if he was about ready to start it. "Start it? I'm almost done!" Pleasant surprised.

I carried over the neck shape and several other specs from my DN to this OM. Went with torrified Sitka and Brazilian rosewood. The Brazilian rosewood is pretty old. It was on a small ship that sank in 1936, hence the small boat on the headstock.

I'd imagine it will be done in a month or so. My goal was to have something that can be flat picking and fingerstyle friendly.
