Hey Jeff, what if I told you that Scott changed his mind about the model?
He has opted for something bigger. What can you glean from the above photo?

That Maple is out of this world! I've never seen any quite like it. I really hope you'll have this guitar at the B.I.G. show. It's always great to see you guys, and the wonderful guitars you bring. I'll be following this thread!

We’ll see how fast the boys are, I expect thy will get it done!!
And, while the get the top ready, here’s a few pics of the neck preparation…

Hey Ryan,

It looks like you are trying to be a hero in the one picture of cutting the top!

Hahaha! You are right, Jim.
I’ll check that Ryan can still count to ten tomorrow.

More work on the neck and the headstock…

[canuck7]

And more headstock!!

Looks pretty amazing so far. The very first custom guitar I had made was a BRW/Italian Spruce SJ by Steve and Ryan. That guitar is still hard to beat!

Thanks for that, Tom! Now look closely at that headstock pic. Then look at your SJ. You should notice the similarity, cuz Scott chose the sister piece of D.Nigra to the one that’s on your guitar. They’ll be sisters, after a fashion.

I don't know what is more amazing, the great taste that Scott and I have or the fact that you remember that!

Hahaha, sometimes pieces of wood impress you enough that you remember them for a long time. But as to the first observation, you both possess impressive levels of discriminating taste. All one has to do is step into your guitar room to be convinced!

Especially with our choices of luthiers!
