Thank you so much Kevin! I try to get some good recordings when it's strung up.

Splendid design and woods Max! Your rosettes keep getting better, and I like the headstock on this one, as well as the line accent on the beveled arm rest. All of these guitars look awesome.

Several months ago, I got to play two of your guitars at the boutique guitar show in Tucson, Arizona, and came away impressed.

If you ever visit Ray in Tucson, please let me know. I would love to meet you.

John, thank you for your kind words. I try to continuously improve my designs and I am glad to hear that it seems like I was successful on these ones.

Great to hear that you enjoyed playing the two guitars that were on tour.

I hope to be able to visit Ray soon and look forward to meet you then!

I received the handmade tuners made by Scheller and they look stunning as always! For the baritone guitar I sent them an off cut of the bridge and fretboard to get some matching knobs. Here is the result...

Here is a short video of the first coat of shellac getting applied to the BRW 00-C.

It took longer than expected but the first guitar is finally strung up!

I hope I will be able to get some good recordings of it soon.

Smile Spiffy!!!

These look very interesting! Nice work indeed.

I like the idea of the tuner buttons made from an offcut of the fretboard and bridge! That is just cool!

Looks forward to hearing them, too.

Salud

Paul

What they said! Wow, that back set is probably the prettiest set of wood I have ever seen. Love the bridge and fret board also. Everything is just perfect.

At least I am consistent, I looked back in the thread and said almost the exact same thing on page 2 about the back lol!

Thank you Paul! The guitar sounds really amazing and I hope I can capture that in a recording.

I wish every fretboard would be big enough to get a set of tuner buttons out of it
