Looking great! Have always admired Laurent's work. The 65 strat refin looks amazing too. Look at the binding work on that neck!

Progress on the D-1. Laurent is trying a new bracing system with a bunch of braces that stick out from the main braces. It's hard to glue them into place and get them to stay, and they poke up through the sound hole and interfere with playing, but the tone is worth it!

You could get a lot of extra tuners and strings on those new braces!!!!

Excellent point. I'll see if Pat Metheny is available to demo it. 571 strings.

Progress on the D-1s. Laurent is using a starfish bowl in the D-1 to prevent tone from leaking out until the guitar is sealed up.

You know it, sort of like salt and pepper, really can't have a meal without it.

Another bowl of queso for you.

Speaking of queso, I think it's pretty cheesy to use green tape on binding instead of glue.

First looks like a side of guacamole with my queso secondly, I can't tell you how much I like that burled end graft! The colors and character are just great!

Things really start to look amazing when the oil varnish finish goes on.
