Thanks for looking!

Hey Lance...at the bottom of your post, in red letters it says:

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

And I don't see any photos. Is this a new glitch in the new software?

I'm also asked to print a verification string to post this reply.
Who have I angered? ;)

Lance to me that looks the best you have done, I like the wood choice very much, the colours blend well together. As you know the highest compliment I can give is that a guitar looks very 'British', well that guitar looks 'British'. [:Y:]

I concur entirely with Colin's statement about the guitar looking British.

Really beautiful, Lance, the gleam of the rosette and seemingly matching binding is really breathtaking.

Lance,

Another great looking guitar. Congrats a terrific and tasteful design and execution. How about a couple shots of the back and sides?

Best,
Max

I don't think the guitar looks at all British. I fail to see the long thin nose, stiff upper lip, lack of chin and air of superiority :roll: :lol:

Lance lovely guitar! You sure do nice work. Out of curiousity, what kind of wood are the bindings and rosette made from?

Whoa that back looks nice. That is sap wood I am seeing in the centre? Lance, what species of wood did you use for the binding and rosette?

Hi Anthony,
Yes that is a cocobolo set with some nice sapwood. It came from LMI about 4 years ago.

The rosette and bindings are Flamed Koa.

Thanks!

Thanks Billy,
The finish is Cat Urethane, Tony Ferguson is the man.
I am so happy with his work that I am going to have to think long and hard
if I ever want to go back to shooting my own. Its just no fun idunno
