Goodness John, that's just incredible. Your work continues to amaze. What a talent you are.

could all hear your guitars. Small pianos actually.. I still can't believe the tonal response on the blackwood model we did. If you all like the sky thing theme you'll like my next one too. Hopefully no more than a day or two left on it.
Go John!! We have like what- four coming up together??
Webster's states that if you do four guitars or more a quarter that makes you officially a team..
Oh- and I totally agree about the understated comment- how can so much going on still look relatively modest?? Kinnaird magic..

John another great guitar. Love the inlay.

After training bird dog for 20+ years have a great love for them. The English Setter is my favorite breed, with German Shorthair close. Now have Yorkie's, because where live now no birds and no place to train.

Craig beautiful job.

Really sweet looking guitar John, I'll bet it sounds great. Craig - the work is awesome as usual

John - Can I offer a small tidbit of advice -I think I actually read it in a post by Mario years ago - try to get the tuner bushings oriented the same - either have one of the six points aiming at the the tuner button, or straight down at the nut - gives a consistant look. Small thing, but it looks pro ... Of course the more you look at the tuner pic now, the more it will bug you .. sorry.

Thanks everybody.

Dave amd Stan,I am glad that a dog lovers like the dog inlay. That inspires even greater confidence in old Craig.

Bill, Thanks but there is no real talent, just slogging along trying to do good.

Craig, If you count the colabo guitar that my bro and I are building that makes 5. (you are still in for the roses right?)

Thanks for the advice Tony. You know I thought about that and decided to go for the random look. Really. Those bushings have facets that mimic a bolt head so I reasoned that to really carry the theme off well they should be turned randomly just like a set of properly torqued bolts. What really bugs me is that there are some repeats. Is there such a thing as perfect randomness? Is that a goal worth much effort?

John

Totally Awesome guitar.
