Nice Lance.

That looks like a wide neck? Or is that something in the pictures?

Reminds me of the girl with the simple dress, straight hair and dark eyes that makes you trip on your jaw.

I have to say that if Joe White's finishes get any more perfect I am going to have to give up shooting guitars that he finishes becase it is impossible to meter...

It truly is a beautiful guitar - and an example to strive for...

Hi Lance,
Looks great!
I like the style of neck heel. I'm using that style on my current build, and wanting to blend the cutaway into the neck heel.
Thanks for sharing.

Lance that's a nice, no fuss, classy looking guitar, just the sort I like. Think we'll make you an honourary Brit!

Lance, That sure am nice.
Is that your reflection in the lower corner of the treble bout in the picture of the back? Or has Joe perfected his "Ghost of the Luthier" effect?
