Howdy Everyone.

Been quite busy and not enough time for sitting at the computer much. Two more guitars have left and arrived safely at their new homes and are being greatly enjoyed by their new owners.These have gone to two young men, one on the Crow Reservation in MT, and the other in NC. Both guitars are Claro Walnut. Both are also mounted at the 13th fret.

The MJ size has a WRC soundboard and a Fishman Matrix Ellipse pickup system.

The Slope Dred has a Sitka Spruce soundboard, and an LR Baggs Anthem Dual Element system. I also included arm and rib rest bevels inspired upon me mostly by the likes of Laskin, Ryan, Karol, Marreiros and a few others.

Sorry for my poor skills at photography.

Lovely. If they were mine I'd be enjoying them, too!

Much appreciated guys!

My lousy photography does them no justice at all. I am learning though with different lighting and techniques.
