With that kind of work, even without a shell you won't be harmed. It's beautiful. Looking forward to pricing and soundfiles. I am coincidentally in love with abalones that work well with the wood itself and these are pretty well made.
Cheers

Very nice looking guitars Armadillo! And welcome to the forum.
It is really awkward to suggest pricing when we know little about how your guitars sound or feel. They are beautiful to look at. If the detail work at close inspection is as good as it looks in the pics with sound and playability to match I would think your guitar could easily fetch somewhere between 5 and 7K. Then again you may want to offer a lower price to sell quickly and build a little reputation. Just my opinion.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments
Thanks for all the great comments Dennis, Shawn and Buzz.
Handers; I pm'd you with some info. I want to get an AGF Sponsorship before I put my instruments for sale on the site. Will do that immediately and try to offer some up for sale in the next few weeks. I am working with a friend/musician to get sound clips done before then. Cigarfan; Thanks for the comments. As far as the sound and feel I will tell you that I own two Olsons , Huss@ Dalton, Fender Classical, Guild, previously owned and sold, 1 Charis, 3 Taylor's, 2 Martins, 1 Gibson. In my opinion and others that have played them they are great sounding and playing instruments comparable with many higher end guitars. |

Beautiful guitars. I happened to find your guitars listed on eBay. My parents live in Natchitoches, and I was there mid-March. I really wish I knew of you before then so I could have dropped by. My dad actually has been trying to find out how to contact you so he could visit about them. He doesn't really play much, but he was wanting to investigate for me! Next time I come to your area, I'll try to get in touch. I'd love to try some of your guitars out. Good luck to you.

I love everything about the guitar....except the headstock. A little too funky for my tastes and you could tone down the big a. It just doesn't match up with the rest of the guitar which looks quite gorgeous.
Very Olson ~ish. It's hard to say what a guitar is worth over the net. The attention to detail up close could move it up or down quite a bit. So to say that guitar is worth 5500-7000 if you've made less than 15 guitars does sound pretty strong.

Shane, I sent you a PM with my contact info. Thanks
JPerryrocks, Thanks for the advise, I will file it away for the future. The headstock is actually harder to make than most because of the curves. I wanted to do something that would be instantly recognizable and resemble a Fleur-de-lis, a symbol of Louisiana. |
