That's a beauty! I love the beveled florentine cutaway, and your headstock mountain inlay. I am interested in how you got the horizontal offshoots of the neck lamination done without weakening the neck structure. I appreciate all the unique appointments...headstock shape, beveled cutaway, bridge shape and heel shape.
Thanks for sharing. Beth

Addendum....duh duh , I looked at the pics again and it is very obvious how you did the "extra" neck lamination. idunno

The fret markers at 14 and 16 are a bold departure from orthodoxy.


Wondering when someone would notice [clap] . A mistake that the owner found unique. I'll be adding some inlay work to help remedy the mistake. Late nights of working = stupid mistakes [headinwall] .

Great work Jeremy! Love your logo and inlaywork. I'm also a big fan of that cutaway. And on the fretmarker mistake...Been there done that :) . Your guitars are steadily getting better!

Todd, from now on all my mistakes are going to be, 'Bold departures from orthodoxy.'

The owner that had me build this guitar happens to own some very nice guitars. A Larrivee, and an Olson to name the nicest. I was honored to get to build a guitar for him, also honored that he now displays my guitar with these. These pictures are of the instrument outside of the humidity controlled cabinet.

First is with the Olson, can't remember which number it is, but it's a beauty with an amazing voice.

We can probably all guess who did the inlay on this Larrivee

I don't in any way consider myself equal to these other builders. I'm just happy my guitar photographed well. Thanks to all who looked and commented
