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]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations") 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 |

I don't know much about pumpkins, but that one looks mighty fine to me. Great job.

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. |

Nice work David. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") Congrads on another one to add to the numbers. How's it sound?

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. |
