Default Healdsburg take 1

Getting everything packed up for the beautiful drive (OK, the I-80 part... not so much...) over to Santa Rosa for the festival and thought I'd try and get some pics of some of what I'm bringing with me.

This one has a bear claw Italian top, "Tree" mahogany back and sides, wenge binding and arm bevel, the rosette is spalted maple with abalone trim.



This one has the same wood and binding choices but in OM cutaway with slotted headstock... unfortunately this one is already sold

Harvey,

Those two are beauts! The beautiful grain of that "tree" Mahogany back on the dread is riveting in particular ... and beautifully integrated and appointed overall in that guitar. Thanks for posting these pics!

John

Harvy,
Are you still hosting a gathering in your room? If so, what are the details?

Now that was embarrassing, Harv. No spirits, but I can claim late late night foggies. See you in Santa Rosa.

Can't wait to see and hear them, Harv, and to see you as well!


I'm playing for Joel Stehr, if you can drop by on Sunday.

Thanks for the nice feedback!
As for the party...finding room 124 is a bit of a challenge since it's off by itself (a good thing for a party room though...) best way is to find it is head for the swimming pool , when you reach the pool turn left... after that you can't miss it. It's also the room directly behind the Guitar Check-in room.
