You got that right! It's been a bit over a year. Trevor's really getting busy nowadays. But it's certainly worth it, seeing how it's turning out... Can't wait...

I got my Kronbauer I couple months back and it sounds wonderful. I love the bass and the bevel is very comfortable.
The Mini Jumbo is quite a guitar.

Congrats!

Got some more update pics from Trevor. The neck is finished, so is the split backstrap. Just a bit more to go!!





Bearclaw is very evident in this pic...



I think the back looks pretty amazing



Profile's not bad either, I really like how the details around the headstock/backstrap are coming together.

Default Guitar is finished and will be shipping soon

Trevor is just adding a strap button to the neck heel... Trevor says he now understands why luthiers take the extra effort to work with Cocobolo for both the sound and beauty. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait once I receive the guitar.

Here are some pics...

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the cocobolo with sapwood...such an "out of the box" look, and I bet it sounds killer too!

Serious congrats.

Thanks all. I sure can't wait to play it.

We're also expecting another "real" (baby) delivery in the next two weeks, so it couldn't have come at a better time. Anticipation is a good thing, but can't beat the double-anticipation...

Maybe you'll be better at time management than I am but my cocobolo, bearclaw spruce with the koa binding "baby" doesn't get much attention since the real one came home....

However, she can strum an A chord if I do all the fretting...
