Default Blanchard 2002 Build Manual Pictures

When I bought my Blanchard guitar an owner's manual came with it that included build pictures.
The Blanchard build thread going on right now made me think of sharing the pictures. They are fairly
low resolution pictures but you can see what is going on anyway.

Thanks for sharing the 13-year old snap-shot in time. It's a nice touch to include it with guitar.

Thanks for posting that. It was very cool to see the progress in one long stream of photos. I really like the ebony back and sides used on your guitar. I also like Mark's headstock veneers better than most other luthiers.

I'm guessing Mark builds his guitars today pretty much the same as he did 13 years ago.
