Thanks guys!
I agreed to this set sight unseen as Jim said he had kept a "special" piece. I'm so glad I trusted him. |

No question this will be a winner. Enjoy the ride (as a forum, I know we do vicariously)!

I am sure you won't be disappointed.
Jim's guitars are unbelievable. |

Hey, Joe. Do you know if your "box" is taking shape yet?
I'm going to wait about two weeks before I email Jim about more pics of my build. Too bad Jim doesn't have live webcams in his shop |

Hey Jon,
Nope, nothing on my end. I promised Jim I wouldn't be all over him so I made my own picture of what my guitar will look like... |

The preciseness of all those little bits of abalone for the vine inlay is pretty amazing. Yeah, I know Jim isn't too fond of taking "in-progress" pictures, so I'm trying to limit myself to once-a-month requests if I don't hear from him. It sure helps a lot with the wait and builds excitement. |

OK so Jim rewarded my patience with a Saturday reply and a ton of pictures!

Wow, this is looking really good, Joe! I love the subtle contrast in color between the mahogany and cedar. The figure on the back is amazing. Proud to be in this batch with you

Beautiful! Great pictures! I hope I didn't get any drool on his workbench.

That mahogany is going to get darker with the finish. I'm mostly excited about the rosette and the fingerboard extension. And I can't wait to see the inlays! |
