I love it too. This set has more figure than most P I have seen.

I think it is great to inlay some of your favorite songs too on top of the numbers, trouble is if you learn something new you will have to send it back to him???

Interchangeable fretboards. Maybe it'll catch on!

I love seeing your techniques Laurent! That fade in/fade out purfling is especially cool. You are one clever dude.

Looks so good as the paint goes on - like a mix of koa and mahogany. Very nice!

Laurent attached the neck today. The right one, we're hoping.

So the home stretch has finally arrived. Laurent got an extra large hammer to make sure those frets stay in real tight. The finish has started to bring out some subtle figuring in the pernambuco. I think it looks stellar.

Those of you who will be at Artisan will get a chance to play it . . .

Laurent does such fine work. I look forward to the reports from the Artisan show.

Best,
Jayne
