Two of the members of the group Go Long(!) (from the video I posted a few days ago) have purchased two more of my guitars. Danielle bought an OM with a curly redwood top and Lucas was the one that commissioned the 8 string. Here's a video of them playing their new guitars for the first time. Lucas says he's going to need a lot of practice to play the 8 string properly but I think he does pretty good for the first time.

That's incredible Pat! Both guitars are stunning, the eight string turned out great. And those kids have some fine talent! You should be right proud!

Thanks for the comments.

I'd like to add that Shane at High Mountain Tonewood was instrumental (see what I did there?) in sourcing the "odd" bits such as the wide fret board, set of 8 tuning machines, long saddle etc as well as the Lutz top that went into the eight string. Thanks Shane.

The beautiful redwood top on the guitar Danielle is playing came from Bob at RC Tonewoods.

Hi Pat

Very nice guitars. Beautiful! I have a question on the redwood top. What finish did you use on it and did you use a stain on it? I ask as I am building a J-45 with a redwood top and would like to get the same color on mine that you have on yours, Thanks - Mike

Thanks Mike. Both guitars were finished with a polyester. I did not put any stain on the the redwood top.

Cheers,
Pat
