I can’t believe my eyes: instead of feverishly building guitars, Joel is fishing – totally unacceptable!!!
Hen, this guitar is going to be G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!

That is one with a lot of character in the woods, purfling, sinker top striping, and the whole ensemble together! Looking great, Hen!

Thanks Keith...it's one of the best things about working with Joel. He takes my ideas and runs with them, and the results always exceed my expectations.

Beautiful guitar, I look forward to seeing it with the finish on. That headstock/fretboard inlay is very tasteful and artistic.
