OM 25.4 scale
Adi Top
Honduran rosewood back and sides
Koa bindings.
Laskin inspired radiused armrest.
A couple of goofy YouTubes......

That's beautiful, Steve. I remember watching your posts on the AGF a few years ago. I've enjoyed watching the kind of builder you've become. It an inspiration to someone like me, who's just starting. |

Very nice Steve. I too have been watching your guitars on the AGF and here for the past while. They started off great and just keep getting better. This one has a very high level of sophistication and elegance. Very nice. Neil |

Steve - Very very nice. Elegant - and the sound is very rich as well. Did you have any trouble with the knot on the waist? Asking because I've got some similar Rosewood and am wondering what (if any) treatment I'll have to give it before bending. Thanks. |

I don't worry about having a knot because I build with double sides. I wouldn't use it if I didn't. |

Thank you all for your kind comments. The videos were an experiment. Obviously I didn't put much thought into them. I shot them with a Canon SX110 - a great camera. |

I haven't logged into this forum for ages, but had to today. First of all, what a holistic format you have presented your guitar in! I love the great pics and the video clips - this guitar sounds beautiful and I love the fretboard inlay. It is SOO much easier to make a "judgment" on a guitar when presented in this fashion. I'm am sure a lot of us has seen you build guitars from the beginning and appreciate your integrity and enjoyed the progress you have made with each build. This one is a stunner to say the least. It has real grace and form.
