Absolutely gorgeous!

Love the figure in the bog oak - including on the fingerboard.

Really looking forward to the video, as and when technology's being more cooperative!

I have 2 videos, one with guitar nearly finished and one finished, but nothing that I have tried has worked to post them in here. Will McNicol has the guitar now to do videos so I assume there will be videos of him playing it on Facebook that I can link in here.

Looks great Jeff. The easiest format for videos is if they post them on Youtube and then they are easily transferred to the AGF>


Congrats!

Bit too much reverb on that for me to make a sensible decision.
Looks great though.

Cheers,
Steve

There's zero reverb or EQ added to this Steve. To quote Mr McNicol, "my demos are dry as the Gobi!"

No Kidding! And I find it very inspirational that wood so old can sing that sweetly. Especially after being submerged in a Peat Bog for God knows how long

Nice One!!!
