This is my first custom build after buying/selling some nice guitars over the years, John's guitars continued to stand out to me. His reputation among those that have experienced his guitars speaks for itself. I was looking for a traditional built OM that would be used mainly for finger style and some light strumming. I just asked him to build his best OM in the traditional sense that he is known for with his modern touch. I really don't know what to expect as I've only played one of his guitars and it was much older. Seeing Juston's guitar, DiamondDaves, and several others have been great to follow and have helped shape my build.
One of the things I'm really excited about is the lighter neck with a graphite truss rod and then getting the guitar Plek'd. This should really make the guitar light and add to the feel and tone I'm going after.
I've uploaded the photos I have so far and will add more of the finished product when I get them and hopefully some video's.
