This is such a cool innovative project, I am excited to hear the results and what people think of it at McJam 2020.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Thanks for all the "inside" details, Tim (& Mary!).

And I resemble that curmudgeon...

Looking forward to completed pics and reactions!

Best,
Phil

What are you saying? Is there someone standing behind you?

That makes two of us Tom. Its really tough walking by that guitar and watching the finish dry too.

We will let you know when its strung up Kurt and would certainly welcome your visit and some feedback after taking it for a test drive or two.

Sounds good to me, David! Let’s wait until we see the finished product as the back might be an eye popper of a different kind.

Stain that back in the right way, and it's a perfect match!

By golly, you just might be onto something there David!

Mary’s got some interesting ideas for trim appointments on this one. Here is the peghead veneer that she chose.

Sorry but I got buys yesterday and didn't have time to post more pics. As a reminder, this is the guitar in the white before the "flame shading"







The latest pictures got rotated for some odd reason and I don't know how to flip them right side up?
