It's done, and will be handed over to the fellow who requested it. It is Koa (low figure, but pretty color), mhog neck, bubinga finger board & bridge. Bindings and Peghead plate is curly maple. Lutz bracing. Fishman matrix infinity pickup with tone and volume. Voiced for Uke. I based this off the Hana Lima tenor, but reduced the depth to 2.75"

I don't know what the problem is. It must be a tapatalk problem. This had worked in the past

BTW, the finish is EM 6000. And another thing. One of the reasons I post images here is to get constructive feedback. I'm no expert, but I do want to get better. I'm like anybody, pats on the back are nice, but that won't necessarily help me grow. If you see something I can improve on, let me know. If you are uncomfortable posting in the open, send me a PM. I promise to not take it personal!

:) Just noticed you can see evidence of another of my passions in the background... The Monte Sano 15K which I direct. Of course, I would rather run than direct, thus "Running Dude Guitars", but I like to give back so I direct a race and volunteer in a few more (the shorter distance ones). I don't run 5-10Ks (too hard on my frame). Much prefer trail marathon distances and up. That's a more appropriate level of suffering for me.

Mike
