Marcus,
I think so many of us have become so intimately involved with you and your build through this thread that although we could never share the level of excitement you personally feel, I for one am as excited as I could be for you, almost as if it is mine. You also seem like such a mature well spoken young man with immense talent, it is easy to hope all the best for you and your guitar. It looks to be everything you hoped and the figure of the tree is amazing. I can't wait to see more when you get it and to hear it. You must post a video of you playing your new Michaud!!! Super congrats to you and to Joel for a beautiful build, a perfect blend of your desires and his talents!! Tom |

Memphis Build Thread - Michaud OM-R Lucky Strike/"The Tree"
Wow! That is absolutely beautiful. Each detail is just amazing. It could be in a museum. Congrats! I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years!

I can only dream of taking photos of The Tree as well as you do... I was actually hoping to get the Lucky Tree into the hands of a fellow AGFer and friend who is a phenomenal photographer for a photoshoot, Joshua Isaacs (JJI) who is having an amazing guitar built for himself as well by Sergei. That would probably be the only thing left to make this build even more special than it already is, but currently it does not seem that it would be possible Haha! That shall definitely be on my to do list! Though I would be ashamed to be posting a song that you would kick my *** in

A video or two will definitely be in the works once the Lucky Tree and I have settled down. The figure of the Tree really has been a great part of this build and I am incredibly happy with how it has turned out! I'll definitely let you know how the Lucky Tree differs from the OO-R Engelmann Koa which you have already heard to give you a glimpse of what it sounds like. Thank you once again. I just hope that Joel has reaped something out of this build and that I am not the only one who feels like a million bucks!

What a beautiful, beautiful guitar Marcus, congratulations!
Everything works so well together, it really gets the most out of the Tree back & sides... and now it'll belong to a player who'll get the most out of the tone. Can't wait to hear how it sounds Jon

For me, going up to Memphis to see Joel Michaud's guitars- and also those of so many other luthiers who I admire and aspire to emulate- is something akin to a spiritual pilgrimage. I seek enlightenment and grace from those who have lit the way, and I know from many past shows that I will come home with boundless new supplies of inspiration and eagerness to start the next project.
I have to say, meeting Joel and seeing his guitars is going to be a unique and singular pleasure in this luthier's life!

I am so glad that my build has brought out this side of both of you. I can't wait to hear about your adventures at Joel's booth. I am sure he will have one heck of a tour at yours as well!! I have already prepared him beforehand with your thread so that he will not faint from sheer awe at your artistry. You have built real stunners for the show. I really regret not being able to make it :'(

I'm glad you mentioned the scalloped nut—that was a surprise when I received my guitar. Cool! |
