Here`s an SJ Jumbo built using Michael`s plans.It`s definately the best sounding guitar I`ve built .I would encourage everyone who hasn`t done so already,to build some guitars using Michael`s plans.This is Western Red Cedar and Oregon Myrtle.Pretty much completely bling-less,like me idunno .The fretboard bindings headstock and bridge are Olivewood,from Oregon Wildwoods,which may be of interest to some.

Yes it`s a Remington 870,it has great playability and TREMENDOUS VOLUME.The Olivewood seemed quite easy to work with,and seems very hard and stable.And thank you MR HESH for the BRW, I managed to get 3 rings out of it for the Rosette,it`s very beautiful.Sorry I don`t have a good picture of it.I`m a dunce when it comes to picture taking.

JJ ,now that I`m laying on the floor ,what do I do next?

I have that same shotgun. It's a nice one.

And great guitar too. Did you mill the lumber from Oregon? Locally grown wood is awesome if you can get it cut up. Nice work

Nice one James! Also think that's a great way to take out frustration after a bad build day! Just kidding! I like the fretboard. Very unique.

Agreed, that's a nice guitar! Beautiful set of Myrtle.
