I have a really strong interest in seeing a close-up of that bridge. How about it? It looks like one I have here.


I just don't see why some folks don't like sapwood. That headplate looks amazing.


Looks great Lance...and it sounds.....??????

Thanks guys,
By the way, in case you didnt figure it out, Don supplied me a sweet set of book-matched BRW for the head plate and rosette, and a matching sapwood accented bridge blank. THANKS DONNY!

Wow, I can't wait to use mine...in case nobody figured it out, I have the other half of that bridge blank.


Hey Lance, I think you got the grain going the wrong direction. It looks like it's going sideways!

Beautiful Guitar!! Absolutely Gorgeous!!


I was wondering, that looks like an Ameritage case. I'm assuming thats a custom size. How do you get all the measurements before the guitar is finished? Unless of course it's a model you've already built. Some of my models I'm building for the first time and in order to completely fill out the custom order form I have to use the finished guitar to get all the specs. Then it takes 7-8 weeks for them to build the case. Thats a long time for a new guitar to have to wait before it can go to it's new home. I've just been curious about how builders handle this.

Lance, the sapwood on the back looks amazingly clean & bright.
You sure it wasn't airbrushed on?

Really pretty work...as usual.

Another fabulous guitar Lance. Are you getting all of your cocobolo building out of the way now before you get an allergic reaction or are you an addict

Hey Lance,

I have noticed You have built a lot this year and into last year with redwood tops. Man they look good

If that top had any more silking in it you would have to sell that guitar in the garment district

Thanks guys,

Jimmy, no this is not Mikes. I had to start his rims over, waiting on a set of koa sides now.
Mikes will have the same top and model, only with a cutaway.
