Beautiful work! The only thing missing is a matching amp

Love the guitars, I have such a soft spot for ziricote!

And the amp above is ridiculously good looking!

Kent, just like the others who commented, my compliments on these great guitars with great woods! I love your aesthetics and the contrast / complementary colors you are using for bindings and purflings. Elegant, warm, and just "inviting" in the sense of wanting to just kind of stare at it!!

Looking forward to seeing your work in person at Healdsburg next year!

Best,

Phil

Phil, I had other obligations this year. Sadly I didn't apply to HB. Will miss the fun.

More photos of the ziricote before finish. Cocobolo shots tomorrow.

I like that shape as well. Joel, can we steal...uh...borrow...uh flatteringly imitate it? [grin]

Kent, both guitars look fantastic!!!

Och! Well, I guess the next time I'm in your part of the country I'll just have to schedule a visit!

Best,
Phil

Phil, please do!

Mike and Simon, thanks. I should point out again that the cutaway was inspired by Bruce Sexauer and he was kind enough to share.

Thanks Kent...yes, you did say that earlier, and if we decide to to that route., we will surely ask Bruce first if he'd mind, and respectfully change direction if he does.

Really nice looking guitars!!

OK, got some pics of the cocobolo guitar. I finally got over my stubbornness about taking my own photos and will be getting professional shots of each different model over the next year. So the next shots of these guitars will be by someone who actually knows what they're doing

Wow. Two exceptionally good looking sets of wood that are becoming exceptionally good looking guitars!
I really like the book matched fret board on the coco guitar. I am a sucker for sapwood! And the ziricote is totally drool worthy. One of my favorite woods for looks alone!
