Wow...#95 is looking pretty sweet. You're getting close to the century mark.
Can we see a close up of that top purfling?? It looks interesting

This one is for a client in Buffalo NY and a good example of what I'm presently offering. Attachment: LaPlante-#95-Complete.jpg Attachment: LaPlante-#95-Complete2.jpg Attachment: LaPlante-#95-Complete3.jpg Attachment: LaPlante-#95-Complete4.jpg Attachment: LaPlante-#95-Complete5.jpg

Very tasteful and elegant, David. I like the narrow backstrip and the back binding/purfling treatment at the heel. Do you use black roller tuners as standard, or was that a client request? (I'm thinking about some black tuners for a future build...) Cheers John |

Quine, Here's that detail: It's a simple lay up of Brazilian rosewood, Indian rosewood, maple, holly and bloodwood. I do have somethng different planned for Number 100, actually I've finished #98 and #99 is in progress. (Number #95 got out of sequence a bit). The tuners were indeed a client request John but I do like them and likely will choose them again. Attachment: LaPlante-#95-Complete6.jpg

Thanks guys. I'll be bringing my #90 Cypress and the #92 Brazilian rosewood guitars that I had wth me at both the ASIA and the Ithaca GFA shows last spring. Everything since then has been commissoned and I wouldn't dare bring anything client-bound to a show......... .........I'm much happier to have my demos get the play wear! |

Stunning guitar as always David, you are an inspiration. I'm getting a lot of requests for Cypress guitars, is it the same of your side of the pond? Colin |
