Tom, the MD is looking beautiful!

I really love the aesthetic and proportions of the bevel in relation to the body. Also loving the look of the tiled rosette. it helps tie everything together on this guitar.

Got a feeling you are going to do very well with the MD series.

I don't want to steal Tom's thunder with this build thread but I'm excited that instead of ordering a custom built Mod D from Tom, I'm buying this guitar.

Tom is working on posting more photos of the guitar under finish and it looks even more incredible (if that is possible) with a glossy coat on it!

And I'm hoping to get a few minutes on it before it heads to CA!

Default Trouble loading pics

I did receive the guitar back from the finisher last week. I've been trying to post pics the last few days but imgur has been crashing when I try to upload. So I'm looking into another host to go through. When I finally find a place I'll post some pics. Thanks for your patience.

Super jealous! Bet this will be a beauty. Tom’s an amazing builder and this promises to be a very special model!

I agree with DamianL!

And it looks like it would be very comfortable axe to cuddle with for long sessions!

It is also super pretty!

Nice going!

Hey Bobby no stealing my thunder. I'm looking forward to you getting this guitar. I glued the neck on today and almost have the bridge done. I'll be gluing that on tomorrow. Btw I did finally figure out how to load the pics. So I'll be posting them shortly.

I think Charlie gets to play a lot of nice guitars. Bobby does get some nice ones. Hope you're doing well Fred!

Default MD pics

Well I finally figured out how to get these pics loaded up. I should be stringing it up later this week possibly early next week. I haven't anticipated stringing up a guitar this much in quite awhile. I'm also looking for to Bobby getting it. He's had quite a few of my guitars so it will be interesting how he thinks the MD compares to my other models. Enjoy the pics and thanks for looking!

Looks like a killer guitar, Tom! Awesome stuff--really like the elegant lines of this model.

Hopefully, Bobby will record some soundclips so that we can hear it sing!

Congrats, Bobby!
