Juss, You did a very nice job on the finish. The translucent white is wonderful.

Estonia! One of my favourite countries. Last spring I stood on the banks of the Narva river gazing across the border at Russia. The only border guards visible were the mosquitoes - and nobody was getting past them.

Chris, I laid that body up using mahogany "bricks" with flamed maple "mortar." Idea came to me in my sleep one night. I love to build guitars out of the leftovers of the guitars I build for others.
