You get to build a guitar and spend a week with some of the sweetest people on the planet! Not to mention the good eats. Wow! How does it get better than that? Not possible! Congrats and thanks for sharing the experience with us. Appreciate you.

Hey Vasu, thank you for sharing this dream "hands-on"guitar build. That wood combination looks great and working under the supervision of Steve and Ryan I'm sure the sound will match. I look forward to seeing your guitar under finish and the final bit of work complete.

I want to thank everyone for the kind words, and the uplifting support shown during this whirlwind experiment. Vasu was a lot of fun to have in our shop, and really seemed to enjoy himself. As a real plus, he was able to build a fine instrument that should reward him for years to come.
Thanks for your confidence in our shop,Vasu, and here's hoping the next project, the 12-string, becomes a reality! Steve |

Thank you it'll feel like an eternity but I am very optimistic that this will be a stunning guitar in every aspect.

Until then, I'll start plotting the details next year: build #2 - the epic 12 string! |

Bob, to say this is the least I can do for all that you've contributed here is an understatement of epic proportions. Actually I thought of your build threads when documenting the progress I hope I did it justice! As you know from our emails I respect this craft and all that is involved in making these wonderful instruments. This experience has not only reaffirmed that but shed light on a fountain of new material and knowledge to reflect on going forward. |

You're living the dream of many others .... what a great experience!
I'm not sure if I would be able to trust myself to handle Lucky Strike if I did something like this. True courage displayed!

One curveball thrown in is that I'm not going with Tony as Steve and Ryan usually do. The neck and body will be sent to Addam Stark for nitro. Both are excellent and each has its merits. I really couldn't have gone wrong either way but ultimately chose nitro over poly. |

What a fun build you took us through Vasu! Congrats on that beauty, I'm sure she will sing as sweetly as she looks.

That is going to be beautiful.
And the Lucky Strike redwood, shaped under the tutelage of Kinnaird Guitars will sound exquisite. I hope we get some audio when it's finished. |
