I really can't speak highly enough of the benefits of a two-man shop. Ryan and I were able to talk through the process, and then work together for the desired outcome. It was a godsend in every sense of the word. Quote:

Here's a couple more shots of Jamie's guitar before Thanksgiving. His body is now in the full finish process and will hopefully be done and cured before Christmas.
Fitting the truss rod into the neck. Then once the fretboard is glued on, we fit the neck to the body to make sure we didn't build the guitar backwards. Starting to look like a guitar. Guatemalan Rosewood bridge in place along with a Desert Ironwood fretboard. From the backside, a glimpse at the Osage Orange with some more OO in the neck. Happy Holidays everyone! Catch you later after I roll out of my turkey-filled stupor. Actually I'm off to Chicago, so probably a pizza/Chicago dog/turkey-filled stupor. |

Thanks Dennis! I am super excited to get this guitar in my hands. I think it will look terrific under finish, and I have high hopes for it as an instrument of divine intervention. Happy Thanksgiving!

I was happy to see the guitar taking such lovely shape, and then I said... "Mark? What about the cutaway?". He turned to me and said, "I'm about to do it on the band saw. Want to stay and watch?" I left his shop VERY quickly, but was thrilled when I saw the end result... and I still am thrilled by that guitar, 40 years on... Enjoy yours!!! Looks like it will be a stunner... and Port Orford is my latest "favorite" top wood; I would bet that your guitar is going to sound AMAZING!

Jseth, what a beautiful guitar, and yes I would have fled the shop quickly as well!! I take it yours was an accidental innovation also?

Love you sharing so many details of the process. Your level of craftsmanship is impressive and your humility humbling. Keep making sawdust with zeal! And look forward to hearing this when done.

Indeed he is, but this baby will have the honor of being first one born in 2020.
