I loved the Gerber I played that Ryan brought to Woodstock, and I look forward to our first one for the shop!

It was a lot of fun meeting you Marcus, you’re a good dude! And not too shabby on the guitar either.

The last two guitars of this batch are back at my shop and ready to be assembled this week! Just in time to beat the Thanksgiving meals and subsequent laziness.

If I may be so blunt, I knew this Koa would look nice under finish, but holy smokes, I cant take my eyes off of it! It's truly amazing the varying beauty that is found inside of trees and shrubs.

They’re both beautiful, but I am really drawn to the mahogany. It’ll be nice to them both all finished up.

Thanks Juston. I'm thankful (it's Thanksgiving day) to get to build with such beautiful woods!

The back and sides are gorgeous, but that top, wow, the tightness of grain and silking is amazing.

Both guitars were assembled and got their first set of strings this week!
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving day with your friends and family.

Ryan, wow! Both those guitars look incredible. I initially preferred the Koa, but the Mahogany is so unique too, I can't decide which I like better.

Thanks Burton, sitting down with your guitar was a definite highlight for me. It had such a presence and soul all it's own. That's the best way I can put it. They now haunt me!
