Top: Bearclaw spruce from John Hall
Back and sides: Myrtle from Rich (fryovanni)
Neck: Mahogany, maple and IRW
Bridge, fretboard, head plate, bindings, rosette, back strip, wedge, pins: Cocobolo
Frets are Gold EVO
Finish: Joe White

A big "Thank you!!!" to Joe who did the immaculate finish for me. This finish was a "door prize" that I won at a builder's meeting at Doug Mills place last year. Not only is Joe an expert craftsman and a real gentleman, but a generous person, too. In his honor, this one is named, "Joe's Myrtle."

That sure did turn out nice, Steve. I got some of that very same Coco on one of my dreads. I'm sure you'll have it well broken in for the get together next month.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. She sounds rich and loud, but with a lot of clarity/separation. The bass is strong but not loose, but it has only been strung up for a day now. Can't wait to share it with others!

All the superlatives have been used, darn it.

Steve you have a way with wood.

Sit down and play us a tune.

We just may have to make this mandatory!

Eye candy you got, thanks for sharing it Steve, nice nice.

Joe wins the prize for mr. nice guy for sure. Amazing.
