All done but the side markers and its off to finish!

This guitar was a real treat to build, I mean that in a good way. It was one of those guitars
that nearly built it self. Most everything went off with out a hitch.

I promise I wont post anymore until it has finish on it :)

Lance, post away! We love looking at your stuff, and this is another treat for the eyes.
Besides, isn't this your sandbox we're playing in? Post all you want.

I take it that the Brazilian was a joy to work?

Don't forget to drill your tuner holes, or do you do that after finish?

Very pretty guitar Lance
I really do like guitars in this stage. They look so organic and natural. Is this one going to Miami?

Thanks John, yes, it will be at Miami, the customer is John Creech and he will be playing it for my mini concert. By the way, have you heard about how to schedule a mini concert?

Hey there! I finally figured out how to get back into the forum... hahaha!!!!

Yes indeed... that is going to be out 2nd instrument. My Dad and I have already started calling her the "Brazilian Beauty." It's going to be such a thrill to be at Miami and play this guitar for the first time. Also, the LS Redwood / EIR E2 that Lance built for me will be at both the Miami show and the Montreal show. It's showing a little wear, but it will be a great opportunity to hear how the tone ripens with each passing year. Fair warning to any who pick it up to play it... the action is too low for most folks! Hahaha... but I like 'em like that. :-)

It's great to be back here... I love the new forum!!!!
