O.K. ..Here's a few more pics. This is Kevin's A-Wedge model, and it is one of a pair of guitars that I am having him build for me. The story behind these is that I had previously had Kevin build me a Monkeypod/Sinker A-Wedge and it was a wonderful guitar, but I had to let her go because it was time to "shuffle the collection". But I always knew I would be getting another one.
When I came across a sister pair of curly Koa sets, and a sister set of Sinker Redwood, I decided to ask Kevin to build me both a 6 and 12 string with them. Now for the other pics...

Nice! Looks like you're finally getting your 12 string itch taken care of. Eager to see how this one turns out.

A couple pics from Kevin...one of the nicely grained and colorful fingerboard, and the other of the rosette. Kevin's still thinking about what fretmarker design would work with the rosette and the coco fretboard. I'm interested in seeing what he comes up with...

You build the best guitars and send them to me for a thorough evaluation and breaking in period. That way both would have gone through "opening up" by the time you receive them. Opening up in my household usually takes a while but I will make sure you will receive them within 3 - 5.....years. Also, if you use The Tree or old growth Braz my services will be free of charge. Build away.

A few more pics from Kevin....its moving along .. He's having challenges with his camera, but the fretmarkers he came up with look pretty neat. I'm going to have to ask him for a close up of them.
And the Koa flame is looking nice...Kevin is still in the middle of buffing the finish out.
