I really think so too Andy! I'm sure Josh will tell you all about it once he gets it
Gage's work is indeed mind boggling Quote:
Thanks for dropping by Howard! I see that you have a 2019 Buendia headed your way too WOW. My Buendia is probably going to be the batch right after yours

On a side note, I wonder if anyone here visited the Vancouver Guitar Festival and paid Gage's booth a visit. If so, I would love to hear what you thought of his guitars!

I’m already really happy!! Gage’s reputation for getting as close to perfection as he can with every little step is staggering to watch.

And this build really borders on perfection with the quality of materials used too! Here is the Ancient Cedar top being joined before it's braced to make some music. What beautiful grain and colour in this top

Beautiful woods, looks like a real winner. Never heard of Ancient Cedar, is there a tone improvement?

Hey B Chas, This ancient cedar as opposed to Ancient Cedar. Ancient as in, VERY old. There should be a tonal difference from it being such an old tree and impossibly stiff and light, but not because it’s special otherwise. The rosette is done now and it is remarkable! Pics soon! |

Ask and you shall receive. Here are a couple shots of the rosette - one of the most beautiful ones I've seen!

The first image has naphtha on it and the H isn’t part of the rosette, it’s just covering the center seem.

Love the look of the top, beautiful grain, and wonderful color with the naphtha! It's got that richness that I love about redwood. Does the fact that this is "ancient", with more stiffness being mentioned, give this top some additional headroom?
