Thanks to my friend Steve Zeigenfuss we was able to get some nice parting shots of George before he heads off to his home.

Thanks for looking!

As is often the case,
the pictures do not do this guitar justice.

It is SO MUCH nicer than what you can see, and sounds pretty darn great.

The burst is absolutely amazing- and only accentuates the amazing craftsmanship and wood choices...

BEAUTIFUL GUITAR, Lance,
Stephen

I agree with Stephen, the burst goes well with your wood choices. Great craftsmanship as always. It's a beauty. Who did the kitty?

Thanks guys!
Paul Bordeaux did George! If you could see the photo, then sketch, then inlay, it was amazing!
Paul caught the essence of this kitty to a TEE!

Aww common Rich! I have seen and played your guitars first hand, they are very "grown up" if I say so my self!
Thanks for the kind words none the less.

To the overall look of this guitar. I have to say that this along with all my guitars are a joint effort between my client and myself.
We talk back and forth about what might look good here and there. We really discuss almost every detail. SO although I would love to take all the credit for the way this guitar came out I am happy to share that with my customer Mark. As it was his vision as well. [:Y:]

Here are a few more detail shots

Lance, I was hoping to see how the different finishes on the neck blended after waxing. Any shots of that??

Beautiful, Lance! You never disappoint.
I'm intrigued by your finish on the neck.
Was this the customer's request?
Ever done one like this, or this a first?
Did YOU do it, or Tony?
How does it f-e-e-l ???
Oh yes...is the head glossy, or also the shellac/wax finish?
Sorry for all the Q's,

Steve
