That's a Very nice set of HRW Bill and the rest of the guitar taint too shabby either Don't those 0000's have such a wonderful voice? I bet this one has a monstrous voice too.

Thanks Tim, I've got a bunch of sets of this Honduran, all from the same board, as well as a bunch more with more of a light brick color from another big board, all quartersawn. I like Honduran. This is my fourth OOOO size and I'm really liking making this size also, loud, full and fat sound with no boominess, loaded with overtones and sustain.

Thank you sir. I saw you at the show, but never got a chance to talk to you. I'll see you next time.

Thanks Larrison, I often get comments on my minimalist decorative binding schemes.

Nice looking guitar Bill, that’s a real nice set of Honduran, it goes well with the Sitka top.
