so the original sides for this set of Brazilian were not wide enough so Jason picked out a really nice set to compliment the back

guitar is coming along faster than expected!

From Jason:

"rosette finished, the top braced, joined to the sides, voiced the top, glued on the back, routed for binding, and glued the binding on so far. Pictures will be coming soon "

what a tease.....

Looks fantastic.

Did you decide which colours to stain the burl for the rosette or did you just leave it up to Jason's discretion?

And could you tell him to hurry up even more, so he can start mine!

cheers,
Steve

thanks for all the comments guy! Pat, can't wait to see your new guitar!

One thing I love about Jason's work is his creativity with the "butt-wedge" on the bottom of the guitar, end graft or whatever we call it. here are pics of his previous guitars

Michael Watts' guitar:


Dario Ronco's Koa guitar:


so whats in store for mine?

You gotta go with the second one. It's the more refined and elegant design.

Jason's already come up with something different and great! The Koa one wouldn't be good since we are installing a pickup. but the end result is great!
