Buffed out!
And ready to rock!
Ben's getting this one into assembly mode now. This coco continues to leave me speechless--actually the whole guitar does. This design of Ben's is so sexy and appealing--it all feels so complete and integrated. I cannot wait to hear this beauty sing! And the headstock is still a showstopper! That's all for now--thanks for checking in!

This is one gorgeous guitar!!! The design is very cool and the woods are stunning! As someone who plays her Wilborn Lion pretty much every day, I look forward to hearing what this guitar sounds like.
Thanks for letting us follow along! beth |

Thanks, Tom--you should be proud of your contributions to it. I'm looking forward to kicking back in that outside alcove and hearing you put her through the paces. Can't wait to try out yours and the spec Nautilus as well--won't be long now!

I can't wait for B.I.G.(er) to hear this beauty - Ben will be doing a video, won't he? He should be winning awards for this design - it's far and away the most elegant non-traditional guitar I've ever seen.

Wow, wow, wow. What an absolute stunner! That cocobolo makes me lust for it, in a very unnatural way. That just ain't right. LOL.

Ariel is completed!
Ben has finished this amazing guitar and has now posted a video of it on Facebook. Keep in mind that this guitar is only about 15 hours young in this video...
https://www.facebook.com/WilbornGuit...3MDgwMTA1NTM4/ And here's the link to the video in YouTube... I should have this in hand by this weekend--I am truly blessed, humbled, over-the-moon, and speechless!

Nemoman, that guitar is amazing. The little section he does demonstrating the natural reverb/sustain in the trebles blows me away. Ben is downright giddy in this video. I hope the mojo continues.
