Peter, That's another beauty in the making. Love the cutaway. Do you still do your own finishing? |

Great looking guitar. I believe you build in the same order I do. Complete the "box" and the start on the neck. Do you send your necks to Joe or use some other finish on them? |

Does your comment mean you're bringing 7 guitars to Healdsburg? Or just that you're bringing this first-in-series to H'burg? And...how many guitars do you plan on showing??? Steve |

A SJ in Madrose and another Zion in BRW. How about you? |

Yeah I agree. I really can't tell by a shot of just the back and side if you know what I mean and how about some details on it too. And might I ask why you all don't do more traditional finishes? Is it a time/ cost thing or do you think the poly is a better finish? |

Sure, many may disagree but that's my preference. Strong finish, really glossy and resistant to sweat and solvents. |

Now I can say, Sweet! ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") Only 2 untill I see the neck.  Is that ebony binding and Claro veneer on the arm rest? I don't really know much on the poly finish. I'm guessing Joe did the sunburst too. I know Joe does a heck of a job from what I've seen. Peter do you also make that your signature sound port and do you reduce your sound hole size any to compensate for the port? I hope you don't mind me asking but I'm still thinking about putting a port on my build and I'm into the armrest and ribrest and trying to perfect them. |
