Thanks Guys

Pete, did I miss a PM from you? If so I apologize..

Steve, the top is very stiff, I really like this stuff. I would buy more if I had the cash.
Its going to soon be very hard to come by.

Lance, those are some beauties you have going there. Zircote and sinker redwood seems like a killer pair. Can we see progress photos?

See you're using a variant of my neck block/fingerboard support tongue. Also, any particular reason for the beveled kerfed lining on the back edge of the cutaway guitar vs. the reverse lining on the top edge? Run out of linings? ;)

Nice looking work! [clap] [clap]

Looking great Lance buddy and it's nice to see your shop once again AND get a fresh reminder that you are still setting the bar for clean work!!!!

This is the first time that I have seen a guitar being built with Amazon RW and it looks killer from here. Would you be sure to show us this guitar when it's got finish on it please?

Looking great Lance! That L1GP shape is very cool! Looks like you're planning a large oval soundport on that one too (white pencil layout on the side?)
