Finished up the last Healdsburg guitar and just have the final few tweaks left. It's a 13 fret 00 with Adirondack over some of Don W.'s Fiddleback Mahogany. A little bit of abalone bling and Tony's incredible sunburst. I'm hoping to get a chance to meet some of you at the big show. If you're attending, be sure to stop by and say hello.

I love those "tobacco" colors in the mahogany. Just gorgeous. Cheers.

Sweet!!!   That top reminds me of the first Sears guitar that I learned on way back in 1960 or so.     Not that your guitar is like that Sears guitar , it just has the same kind of burst top.

That's a really nice looking axe! Love the burst. I'm sure that will get some attention at the show.

Way 2 Go Caldwell. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
I'd like to fingerprint that thing up a bit. Just had four pieces of greasy bacon, four greasy biscuits laden with margarine. I think I'm ready.....   

Oh, and plus.... I'm drooling coffee!

You build a mean guitar sir. (pat, pat)
