Love your venturing into some new design elements. Looks absolutely fantastic.

Stunning!!!!T that top, ohhh that top. Wowser....

Now if you ask the blue fairy, is there a chance that Pinocchio could turn into a real boy and then you won't have to rely on Mike to come over the mountain anymore for demos?????

Okay Mark I better not look at it then. Otherwise I could be tempted.

Thanks ukejon, I always have a list of things I want to try. Actually there are two lists one: the ongoing wish list and two: what pops up once I get started on a guitar.

Yea, maybe a real boy would be better. Right now he seems to be lacking in motor skills.

You see Mark,...

You create SO much sultry guitar-porn that I am safe. I doubt I could ever make up my mind... (please don't tell the Mrs. I said that)

Nice stuff!

Yeah, No way to make up my mind and... As someone once wrote...

"the woods are lovely dark, and deep,
but I have promises to keep,
and miles to go before I sleep."

hope i got it, (enobled)

In time Sir,...

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no river(or ocean) wide enough...

I am as far away from New Hampshire as could be within the USA.
And I reached out for that first Piña.
Just do it rog!
It's going to be the best guitar to ever hold fort on your lap.
Lapaxe is a new word that describes the piña.

Thanks! That's quite an endorsement

I'm setting up with a new musician to help me make a couple sound clips on this guitar. It may be a couple weeks.

Thanks Again

Here are some progress pictures of my third show spec guitar. This is a Josie small jumbo model with some wet and dry shots. I have all of the Cocobolo binding and trim roughed in. There are both arm and rib bevels on this curly Maple body;

Thanks for checking it out!
Mark
