Hi guys.
Just strung this one up this morning, my first mahogany top. It's a L-0 copy.
Pumpkin, huh?

Hey David, that is very sharp indeed!
I was just at your website and you've got great taste in guitars!!!
They sure work for me anyway... [clap]

I love the clean lines on this one and the small dots!
A hog top is on my list of must builds also.

Well done,
Joe

David, that's really sweet.
Best looking jack o lantern I ever saw.
Was this a commission or something you wanted to try?

Steve

Thanks for the comments, guys. It is a "spec" guitar Steve, for sale now. I've done several L-00's and wanted to do some L-0's as a "stock" guitar. With me it's all about simplicity.

It is very "crisp" Bill, and loud.
I think it will work out best as a finger style guitar.

Very nice!
One of the sweetest sounding guitars I have ever played was a all mahogany
slot head 12 fret martin. Its sound still haunts me.

I'm with you, Lance. One of the very best sounding Martins I ever picked up was a low-end, all Mahogany D15. I'm going to build one someday soon, I hope. Yours is a real beaut, David. It's got an understated vintage look going on that I just love.
