What a lovely instrument! It does appear that you are starting to figure this guitar building thing out.

I finished roughing in the setup a couple of hours ago. Tonight I’ll throw the Tonerite on and let it go for a few days. I sold 4 guitars last week. Time to restock the wall. |

Love that thing to death! Love the purfling, and the bold bridge profile. I am most impressed. |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I sold the first three when I was at Summer Acoustic Music Camp which is located about 10 miles south of Bremerton, WA. The other one, a Fan-fret, sold at a friends music store in Port Townsend, WA. Port Townsend has a very active music screen and their shop gets lots of traffic https://crossroads-music.com/ . The person who bought that instrument was from out of town. |

wow! That purfling work is wonderful, especially the back inlay. I wish I had the chops to justify even trying that. . . |

Mike Collins wrote: Beautiful ! How's it sound? Mike It sounded lovely right out of the box. I popped into the shop last night to give it another go after 12hrs on the Tonerite and it’s really lush and loud. I know a lot of folks poopoo the Tonerite. I find it does a great job of waking up a fresh instrument. I also tend to leave one running on whatever guitar is my current favorite. I own 3 of them. M |

I've looked at this more than a few times now and every time I see it, my jaw drops to the floor. Talk about raising the bar. |

Gorgeous work, Michael. Congrats on the sales, too? Couple of questions: What woods did you use in the rosette? (ebony? dyed maple?) The shape appears to be your own. Correct? |

The rosette is ebony, dyed american linden (.6mm from LMII), and black fiber. Yes, the body shape is my own though it is loosely based on Martin OM/000 numbers. That way I can run a stock-size case.
