I finished a new amp just in time for the ceremony last Saturday. You can see it in the background on the right, just behind my left shoulder :D I'll have an mp3 up soon ;) The figured redwood plate is from Oregon Wild Wood.

Dang, they throw you a big party and get all dressed up when you complete a project. I usually get "Oh, really? that's nice dear."

Nice! I like the project in your right hand better than the one over your left shoulder.

Thanks guys :)

I never put the logo on the guitar. I need to wait until I have another playable guitar to finish the headstock with it. We're lucky to be close to our photographer! I don't know who else would get us a few shots a week after the ceremony!

Thanks guys [:Y:] LOL, Trish is incredibly supportive. She wants me to be a luthier even more than I do. How cool is that? Now, she drew the line at using our wedding money for the sapele auction, but . . . :)

Heath, we got married here in Fresno.

Way to go James!!!! bliss
Congratulations on you marriage. Now its time to start making little future luthiers, just be warned that it will cut into your luthier time but it’s worth it.

All the best to the two of you.

Thanks everyone! We're making ebelskibers for dinner right now. Last night it was home made macaroni and cheese. [:Y:] I'm thinking about giving up fitness for eating!
