Ok guys. Here is what is slowing me down. Hand made Christmas presents. This will be a clock for my wife with wooden gears. Home made zircote plywood and spalted maple veneers over the Baltic ply frame

Way cool! Guess you deserve a little "time" for yourself.

Oh, you creative folks! I recall an older thread about other things Luthiers make. It was very cool, and so is this!!!

Very cool, John--what a great gift for your wife.

I hope you'll shared the finished version with us when it's complete!

Happy Holidays!

I think I had better not. It's not an acoustic guitar and who knows how much longer this post will stay up

It's been a while since an update so I thought I'd give all a look at where we are on this one. Here are a few recent pics that John sent. John is currently finishing the binding on the sound port, as well as a couple other misc items.

Also sanding etc. before this makes its journey to Tony...

Smile Looking GOOD!

Looks beautiful! You must be getting antsy by now....

John's guitars are certainly worth waiting for, but we would still like to be playing them NOW! Hahaha

Hope the new biz is going great!

Salud

Thanks Paul! Always the encourager . I appreciate the kind words very much. These pictures aren't really designed to "highlight anything" but simply to show progress. Some of the pics of this guitar are a bit deceiving as there will be some unique things done with the finish that will help it all make sense and I think cause this guitar to take on a special personality.

But yes, I am BEYOND antsy...just ask John. He's ready to have his number de-listed

Thanks Dennis! In most cases I tend to be in agreement, but in this case I have to admit that really nothing interrupts my sleep...not even this guitar That said, I am pretty excited about this one and wish it was done but it will be soon. Im super optimistic because have a TON of great experience with John's guitars, and can't remember a single on that didn't sing a gorgeous song. Hopefully this one will do the same.
