Bruce DOES indeed have top shelf stuff!
However, this set is—according to our records—from Doug Degenhart.
Aka, Volcano Guitar Works. And I think it is our last set from him. 😢

Thanks for the provenance, Steve.

Looks like Volcano Guitar Works still has some awesome koa sets on their site!

Just saying!

Default Yowzah!
Totally jazzed with this peghead--these guys knocked it out of the park!

So glad we selected this one to go with--it looks like it's alive!

Kevin, we’re pleased you like the result. It is gratifying to get a “Yowzah!” from the client, thank you.

Yep—ya made me look! Drat!
The one thing purchased at the GAL convention this summer was Koa.
(And yes, from Bruce Creps) So I don’t THINK I need more. But then this tip comes along. Sheesh…

The secrets hidden in this now keep sneaking out. That head stock is amazing as is the grain in the sides near the end wedge! This is going to be a stunning Kinnaird!

Thanks, Colin--this headstock is destined to become a special favorite of all my guitars. I've opted to have Steve put his "K" logo on the backstrap to preserve this awesome koa on the peghead!

Thanks, Tom--Yeah, the lightning-like ink lines streaking into the endgraft immediately caught my fancy. I think the sides will put on quite a show when the finish hits 'em!

Hey Dennis, thanks much--you have a few that I'm extremely jealous of as well!
