For those of you who have built an OLF MJ, please post some pictures. I am planning to build one and I would love to see some different wood combinations. Thanks!

Cheers,

Here ya' go...
This ones ziricote and adi with ebony bindings and a spalted rosette. I added a sound port and would recommend that, ( I am now a convert). This guitar is actually my personal keeper, it sits real good in your lap with the tight waist and has a BIG sound. I prefer a little more room on the fingerboard so its 1 7/8" at the nut and is really comfortable to noodle around with. I like this shape so much I've built three now...............
Good luck- Mikey

Dave,

Beautiful guitar and really cool joint. I actually remember when you posted this but had forgotten it was an MJ. Thanks for the pics.

Mikey,
Awesome! I love Ziricote. It's what I plan to use on my dream guitar one day. Out of curiosity, what were the other combinations that you used on the MJ? Pics? Congrats on the 100th post [:Y:]

Thanks guys!

I've got some good pictures of a Brazilian and lutz MJ but I'm having troubles resizeing them to load on the OLF server. Its trimmed with EIR bindings and fretboard. The customer loves it, it's his #1 guitar. Maybe I'll get them posted when I have more patience........... Mikey

Here is a link to one I made a while ago. Blackwood B&S. Great shape to play, it sits lower than a dred so is easier to reach over and sits nice on your leg.

Cheers
Dom

Ok Dan:
Got the pictures resized for you (and everyone else). Light colored Brazilian, lutz top from Shane, EIR bindings and furniture. The tulipwood rosette doesn't really show in the pictures but it's pretty cool. The owner is very pleased with his instrument and I think it sounds wonderful......

Dom,

Thanks so much for the link to your guitar over on ANZLF. I had seen it there a while back and really love the Blackwood. Very nice guitar!

Mickey,

The Brazilian is really beautiful! Thanks for taking the time to resize the images. Also, that is a really cool shape you chose for the sound port [:Y:]
