I'll be perched in my chair here, waiting for your next posts!

+1 on that. Go Luca!

That's beautiful!

Many thanks Mike! Glad you like it.
In the meantime the guitar has been through the finishing process.
I'll be taking some pics and samples for you to see and listen in the next days.
Thanks everybody.

lovely work Luca, looking forward to this.
I take it you get your materials from Spain ?
BR fingerboards are pretty rare these days
regards Geo

PS for those not knowing where Luca is situated type 'Fuerteventura - Canary Islands' into Google map !

Really a lovely looking guitar--especially love the headstock and the bridge. Looking forward to seeing it with finish!

I personally select my woods from different warehouses.
I have some BR fingerboards around here
Fuerteventura is a nice place with a lovely guitarmaking friendly weather.

If it sounds half as good as it looks it'll be a winner!
