Bruce DOES indeed have top shelf stuff!
However, this set is—according to our records—from Doug Degenhart. Aka, Volcano Guitar Works. And I think it is our last set from him. 😢 |

Thanks for the provenance, Steve.
Looks like Volcano Guitar Works still has some awesome koa sets on their site! Just saying!

Yowzah!
Totally jazzed with this peghead--these guys knocked it out of the park!
So glad we selected this one to go with--it looks like it's alive!

The one thing purchased at the GAL convention this summer was Koa. (And yes, from Bruce Creps) So I don’t THINK I need more. But then this tip comes along. Sheesh… |

Lots of great images so far, but I think this is my favourite. Amazing!

The secrets hidden in this now keep sneaking out. That head stock is amazing as is the grain in the sides near the end wedge! This is going to be a stunning Kinnaird!
