Happy Thanksgiving all.
I figured posting this in the Custom Shop would be the most beneficial, for I tend to spend most of my time here.
I acquired this at Woodstock last month, but have been too busy to post. I first became aware of Lamehorse guitars in Memphis a few years back and found their instruments to be unique, beautiful and fun to play. When I attended Woodstock, I was happy that Lamehorse was attending, but I didn’t expect to purchase anything. In fact, I had a bit of cash I had been saving to personally give to Michael Bashkin towards my upcoming build. However a bout of GAS overwhelmed me when I saw, then later played the Saddle Pal. Chris Jenkins agreed to an offer and after sleeping on it, I decided that resistance was futile. Needless to say, it came home with me.
I don’t currently have the detail specs down, but I can tell you what materials were used...
Back and sides is some primo Madagascar Rosewood that Chris said he had been storing for over 20 years. The top is Engelmann Spruce bound with Macassar Ebony. The back headstock veneer and the inside laminate sides are White Oak and the bridge is made out of Indian Rosewood.
Needless to say, I enjoyed Woodstock and seeing old friends and met several new ones. Chris and Jeremy Jenkins are a class act and this little guitar is a perfect compliment to my collection. I just love the little thing!
Without further ado, some quality shots that Chris sent to me...

At the time, I was ignorant of the identity of the chap that was photobombing my guitar...

I quickly realized who he was...
