Commissioning an instrument is very exciting, though I haven't done it for some time. I hope to get a six-course lute from Tony Johnson one of these days. http://tonyjohnsonluthier.co.uk/tony...o.uk/Home.html

And I’m sure there are others who share the sentiment that some of the most captivating threads on the forum are build-progress threads—they are like little mini-series. Every builder has his or her unique process, and seeing the guitars take shape is an endlessly fascinating thing to watch.

Ha Dan! I will be returning to the sidelines after this build to enjoy playing what I am blessed to own . I would tell you that Michel has a few more nice sets of Bois de Rose available, but adding another build with your Brazilian RW Wilborn and Wenge Buendia guitars already on tap...that would just be ostentatious. |

I was in a duo with a bassist/singer who decided to not continue, for a variety of reasons, but the one that totally surprised me was my "guitars cost too much". Not that I ever told her what I spent (she'd be shocked at anything over $500) or bragged about them. I don't do that. Wonder what she'd have said had she known what handmade guitars really do cost? It's not what anyone spends; it's what makes them happy.

I have an OM in Max Spohn's queue, expecting it late in 2023. Still working on details. Super excited about it - not only working with Max but also because it's my first commissioned guitar.

I have my first commissioned order coming up this year. It's an Emerald x20 with custom neck spacing and a nicely figured flame maple with a burst.
Very excited about it.image%20(2).jpg |

I will be expecting a 00 with a German spruce top and flamed maple back and sides with an incredible flamed maple neck from John Slobod in hopefully the first half of 2023.
