Hi Brad That is very elegant looking guitar. I especially like the "back strap" on the peg head. Could you describe your technique for making and installing the back strap? Do you use a router on the back of the neck behind the first fret area? |

Beautiful guitar Brad. That Cuban is definitely a cut above what one normally sees. Good to see some of it still floating around. Bet that one sounds great. Tim |

NICE BRAD! I love small guitars. The Cuban Hog is beautiful. I like the back of the head also. How's she sound? Mike |

That IS sweet! The black and gold on the peghead really does it for me - classy. |

Wow nice work and great looking wood, the figure on the back is outstanding. As already stated small guitars are real cool and look good with a solid peg head instead of the usual slotted type. I have a future project to build something like this for my grand daughter. Fred |

Thanks for the kind words-I am really happy with the aesthetics of this guitar. Steve Frady, The backstrap is simply an overlay (no routing)-the only thing is I account for the thickness of the veneer behind the first fret so the neck does not become too thick there.Then I feather it in. Joe, It is a standard Martin 12 fret o size-13-1/2" at the lower bout. Tim, This was a special batch of Cuban, that I was selling a few years ago-I probably sold around 100 sets as nice as this one,unfortunately I only managed to save 4 or 5 sets for my own use. Mike, She sounds great! The trebles are "there"-the bass is really good and is opening up every day-It will take a few months(at least) for the varnish to really cure,then I am sure it will be even better. It is really loud as well for such a small instrument. |

That is an awesome guitar. Understated elegance. I bought a set of that Mahogany from your around 5 years ago and haven't used it yet. I think it is about time. Andy |

Very nice. That Mahogany is particularly nice. The tuning machines are nice too. What do you think of them now? |

These are the ones with the solid brass gear from LMI-The buttons are black plastic I would have preferred ebony,otherwise for the money I think they are the best deal out there. |

Beautiful guitar Brad. That Cuban mahogany looks very similar to a set I won on an auction here some time back. Gives me something to look forward to. |

Lovely Guitar, Brad. Love Cuban mahogany AND the backstrap. I did one on my recent parlour, but that one wasn't planned. I thicknessed the head before I got the tuners & Oops, too thin!!! "Guess I'd better do a back strap." The side of the peghead looks very cool, with the tuners framed in Macassar ebony. I used the Gotohs too & really like the look & feel of them. The ivoroid buttons look great too. LMI seems to be the only ones carrying those tuners. |

Looks great. Love the backstrap on the headstock. # 51 eh? Did you do something special for #50? Tell us about your varnish finish. |
