I was in Mike's shop about 2 weeks ago and saw that guitar sitting on the bench, very beautiful. Mike is a super cool guy, and a great guitar builder. I am also thinking of trying some double sides, very stable, plus the tulip wood on the inside is just neat looking.

man, that is coming along nice! I can't wait to see the end. What binding are you doing on that guitar? I love what mike does with his rosettes. He is very creative and definitely pushing the envelope!

Bindings are blackwood and satinwood. I sure love his woodwork. But the sound...Ahhhhh! ;-)

I visited Mike's shop to take him the PU and a set of my strings. This was my first in-person look at things. I swore that I wouldn't be bugging him about the progress, etc. so I've stayed away.
The box is now closed, and I think that he was going to put the bindings on after I left. It truly is a beauty so far. The headstock plate is beautiful. And I love the detail of the tuner buttons. The sound is by far the most important thing to me, but it sure is going to look great too! Sorry, I forgot to take pictures (ducking!) Jenn |

Thankfully, since I'm a dork and forgot to take pictures yesterday, Mike took some and sends these along! The last 11 pics on this page are from yesterday.

Looking great, Jenn. That's going to be a killer guitar.

Looks beautiful Jenn. With you and Juston both showing builds this is almost as much fun as when Mike built my CX in 2008. Please keep up the posting!

Yippee! |
