I got a guitar in finishing stage that was made with one of your Madagascar Rosewood sets. Bought by the customer directly from you (initials MS). I'll be more than happy to share pictures.

It will be ready in about two weeks though.

Bob;
I'm making a Flamenco with one of your Myrtle sets from the OLF swap meet.
It'll have a Lutz top and it's going to the GFA Convention this June.

It's a Maria Zemantauski model aka. M.Z.(http://www.mariazemantauski.com)
She's a great Flamenco artist and has given me invauable advise & direction over the years!
I can send pics and specs if you'd like for your letter.

Mike [:Y:]

Hey Bob, I could probably put something together regarding home shop CNC & CAD. I've been doing home shop CNC work for a couple years using pretty affordable equipment (assuming you have a very understanding spouse!). Let me know if you are interested.

Also, how can I be added to your mailing list?

Thanks,
Trevor

The last guitar I built featured one of your Sitka special 2 for $25 tops and it sounded great. The pics and info are posted here on the OLF.

Waddy and Steve Thank you. I will look up both builds.

Just for the record it doesn't have to be wood bought from me.
ALso any stringed instrument is fine.

Hi Bob, I'm currently making a batch of guitars with 4 out of the 6 using back/side wood from you (EIRW, Osage Orange, Malasian Blackwood, and Flamewood). I'll have something on the builds in a couple of months if you like....

Cheers,
Dave F.
