Seems a shame to put that fingerboard on a guitar...it looks so cool just on its own
Nice photos Dion. |

In the shop today...
It’s a rare treat to see this level of craftsmanship up close. My good Luthier is very skilled at explaining the process too. It’s an impressive instrument in the making with no details overlooked. Wow. I need to practice! |

Jed Z, a belated Welcome to the AGF! Looks like you've got a great guitar in the making. I've never heard of Dion but I just found his website with some beautiful guitars.
Looking forward to reading about your review once it's in your hands. |

Hey Jed
Welcome to the candy store! Your new guitar looks beautiful already... mighty nice work Dion!!! Did I miss the species of spruce? That Coco is mighty pretty. Enjoy the process. As others mentioned you are indeed fortunate to live close to your chosen Luthier!! Cheers Paul

Hi Paul, I chose Italian Spruce for the top. Gorgeous.
You’re right it’s an experience to have a front row seat for this build. Dion is not only a talented craftsman, he’s also very good at explaining this intricate process to me. |
