Congratulations, Juston. After this very interesting build, you've got a seriously beautiful guitar. Looking forward to more pics and impressions after you've had a chance to have some fun with it at home. Yeehaw!!

Absolute stunner Juston. Can only imagine how nice it will be to play.

Gorgeous! I saw Dale’s photo in my Instagram feed and promptly came here to see if there were more photos. Can’t wait for you guys to take these out of the box/case.

So exciting Juston.... Dale says he still has a 40 min video of the sunburst process that he has been having trouble with loading on YouTube.. Hopefully JT will be able to get to his shop Sunday night with his minty ‘43 SJ to compare and experience.. Yeehaw...

Here's a bit of Kalamazoo Gals magic for ya all. I'm in Oslo and spent some time today with the great, Norwegian "Americana" artist (well, that's ironic the moniker some in the press have given her), Tove Boygard.

This is but the iPhone video, compressed via mobile upload. I also recorded this with good video/audio gear for an eventual documentary film. Anyway, Dolly's "Jolene," rendered in Norwegian:

Thanks, Alan! I'm planning on visiting Korea!

Here's another song by Tøve, played on the went-to-WWII guitar, this time an original:

Oh, That’s a great news! I can gather up some folks from Gibson Community in Korea for an event! Let us talk later, John!
