Very unique, especially the headstock and frailing scoop. I've never seen a scoop on a guitar before but why not?

Ray builds some of my favorite guitars. Amazing to look at and hear. But his shop looks awful clean. Not sure I'd trust someone like that.

But I do see that he uses an excellent brand of solvent....

Congrats, Larry. Have a talented luthier close by is a great thing. I was fortunate to have that with my Batson and loved it.

Mr. Krauts guitars look really interesting and modern. Very clean looking. Did you have an input into the over all look?

Kindly,
Danny

Wow, that's pretty. I also like Matsuda's aesthetic. It looks like you went for a one-piece neck and scored a fantastic rosette, top, etc etc. A great investment!
