Wow! Very cool Filippo. You have to keep us posted on that one and let us know how it turns out.

Cheers,

Thanks for sharing Phillipo. I have long been a fan of Randy's work. He was one of the first to venture into double-top construction and is consistently innovative with some great craftsmanship.

That's going to be a knockout of a guitar and I'm eager to hear some soundclips when you think the time is right.

That is looking so sweet. Everything is so nice, and the headstock especially.

But what I'm really left wondering, is why did I think that Randy was much younger that he appears in the photo? Maybe because his work feels like that of a much younger man?

Filippo, do you know how the finger board extension is attached? Is it glued down, bolted or just under the tension of the strings?

Filippo that is a sweet looking guitar!
With my weakness for cocobolo I drooled on my keyboard at the sight of your set.

If I recall Todd at Allied Lutherie had some very much like that.
It went fast!

hi Filippo
that is an inspiring instrument in every way, thanks for showing it to us.
I would be very interested in seeing Mr Reynolds S/S work especially the bracing.
best wishes
Geordie

Phillipo,
I don't want to say this like a "well done" type of a comment on a nice build but I am genuinely impressed with this guitar. I love the Cocobolo you used, the back bracing is really interesting and looks great and the rosette looks very tasteful too. I really like the way the headstock turned out!

I think you did a fantastic job!

Stunning instrument. Sorry if this has been answered, but have you built many nylons with that top bracing style?
Clearly not the traditional ladder bracing. How have they turned out?

That's a stunning looking and sounding classical. Filippo. Kudos to Randy Reynolds for an awesome job. [clap] And contrary to your thoughts on your playing, you did the guitar justice with your nice technique. Thanks for sharing this one all the way through. :)
