Hey all, I just wanted to post some pictures of my latest off the bench. These were both customer commissions. They took about a year to build due to some poor time management on my part. But I am (mostly) happy with how they turned out.

Both of these are off the OLF SJ plans. The second guitar has a modified bracing pattern that was matched off a Martin J40

Questions and comments are always welcome. I hope you guys enjoy!

SJ15-024
Back & Sides: Brazilian Rosewood
Top: Tempered Sinker Redwood
Binding: Rocklite Ebano

Very nicely done Marcus and you have quite the artist's eye. I'm not normally a fan of bling but your bling is seemingly informed by the natural beauty of the wood that you have brought together on these and it complements it nicely. That's a trick to do, not easy and you pulled it off very well. My eye is drawn first to the entire guitars and the overall impression and then the details just make the journey even more fun to see. I really like the neck inlay and how subtile you made it making it a bit of a pleasant discovery when one's eye happens on it and it's not screaming at us like some bling is.

Beautiful guitars Marcus!
