Beautiful guitar Brad. I still have the zircote set you sold me way back when. I have been waiting for just the right project.
No, you can't have it back.

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a long time so here is some new stuff I have done: Adi top (Ladder braced) , air dried walnut back and sides, walnut neck,curly maple appointments,ebony board and bridge, brushed varnish finish (Epiphanes) Stew mac Golden Age tuners (great!!), Adjustable truss rod bone nut and saddle K and K pickup. 14-1/2" wide 4 to 4-1/4" deep 26-1/2 " scale tuned down one whole step. Sort of old school style, based on a Regal guitar. Huge sound! |

Very nice. I'm getting to where I find the vintage/traditional guitars much more appealing on a personal level. |

Great work, Brad! That's some sweet walnut and I really like the way you ran the maple on the back of the headstock down into the shaft of the neck. I've been messing around with similar executions and am struggling to get anything as nice and tidy as what you've achieved. |

Brad, Fillippo's compliment is a good as it gets; that guitar has a very appealing and clean look. The bound fretboard sets it off somehow. |
