Few pics and a you tube clip. Crappy camera mic, and it was only 2 hours old. It sounds so much better in person. I love this size guitar. I wish I could play worth a darn, but oh well. I realized long ago I couldn't play very well, but I could do OK building :P

Yeah, I would say that's a pretty fine guitar there John! The kind of small body, comfort guitar I love. I'd say you do all right. [clap] [clap] [clap]

Every time I see your avatar pic, I want to compliment you on that beautiful sunburst build!

Great looking and sounding guitar John! Looks like a 0 size with a little wider lower bout? I just closed the box on a redwood / cherry 0 size...becoming my favorite size guitar.

That looks really sweet John, the photos are great too. I have what must be the sister set of Braz to that one. It looks great against the redwood.

Thanks everyone.

It's a 00 sized body. This guitar is very loosely based off a 1932 L-00. Of course this is a much more modern take on things.

Looks fantastic, John. Sounds amazing too.

Is the 4th song played in your clip a Bebo Norman song?
