Thanks for all the kind words and support guys!
Very excited that this build has finally gotten underway. This build has been in the works for several months and Lonzo is just the most invested person into this guitar! Always amazing to see so much passion on the client side of the guitar. He has done a lot of material research and even sent over samples to Joel to hopefully incorporate into his guitar. Let's see how that works out Turns out that Lonzo is not just extremely resourceful, but also a very talented photographer! You should share some of your works when you find the opportunity. I'm sure we will be expecting many guitar photos from you once it's completed hehe It's such a familiar build to what I've gone through in 2015 and I cannot wait for you to receive it! Looking forward to more updates on this

Thanks Nemoman!
I think it will become a bit more prominent with the other plans for the soundhole and the purfling on the body - we will soon know if and how they work out. I was intrigued by that orange color and thought it matched the overall colors of the woods very well. Also the soundhole binding will be directly bordering the soundhole. We try to achieve a clear look, almost understated, until you look twice :o) and quite slick and elegant at the same time.. that of course is subject to taste, but as it is my guitar it ticks those boxes. I also think that look goes very well with the overall lines of the OM-R body, Joels interpretation of the OM size, its shape and the slight fanfret. Curious to see how it will look under finish.

Thanks for the metaphoric flowers Marcus !
.. the pics in this thread will all come from Joel... later I might give it a shot (literally). I never seriously tried my luck on Guitars yet, with so many qualified and experienced examples around here.. just look at Mark Hatchers pics.. ..and yes I am involved.. excited... how could I not be with this in the works Quote:

Hey Lonzo my friend, I'm happy to see that your build with Joel Michaud is underway!
I was fortunate to get to play Marcus' LS - Tree OM-R at the 2015 Memphis Guitar show. Sonically as well as visually that guitar was and is amazing. I've since had the pleasure of meeting Marcus at the last Woodstock and you are in good hands with both of those two. I know you will enjoy working with Joel as much as i did and I look forward to following the progress! Last edited by doodahdoug; 01-07-2020 at 06:31 PM. |

All I read was "first build" and then saw the wood in this pic. Thought "wow, good luck with that figured wood". Then realized this was a builder commisioned thread.

I don't know if a luthier has ever built more guitars with the tree than Joel... He even made a full mahogany the tree guitar (top, back and sides)

But the fact that Joel seems to have a hand for “The Tree” didn’t hurt either, it was one argument to go for it and with him. Last edited by Lonzo; 01-08-2020 at 02:27 PM. |

I think Jayson Bowerman has Joel beat on Tree builds but Joel is certainly prolific with it! |

..maybe if Mr. Bowerman attends the Holy grail ? Need to check that ..no, at least not yet... but a large number of luthiers sure will be there besides Joel: Baranik, Bashkin, Kostal, Jang, Dowling, Buenida, Matsuda... looking forward to that !

Small update...
Joel has some other guitars to finalize and deliver... so I wasn't expecting anything for a while.. but a little bit trickled in today.. The sketch/plan and a step further towards completion of the rosette.. More when available Last edited by Lonzo; 01-14-2020 at 12:55 PM. Reason: optics |

Hi everyone, it's been a while.. but there's progress. The pictures show how the motiv from the rosette will carry through the rest of the guitar.. a planning sketch for the back and the execution through the back and the headstock.
As for the originally intended inlay for those sections ... we had to change plans... and Joel is working on it.. soon to be revealed. I myself haven't seen them yet.. ..sketching out The back being in progress The headstock top veneer made from the set the back was cut out of.. every possible bit of that wonderful wood needs to find a worthy use Last edited by Lonzo; 02-01-2020 at 06:00 AM. |
