"So with that said, here's a shot of Todd routing the saddle slot to the bridge that is going to go on his guitar"

That's too funny!

Nice shots and great story. The detail shots show some really nice work.

Awesome! Beautiful job and one of the best reasons to build a guitar that I can think of.

It is good to see when someone who richly deserves it finally "gets his".

A fitting thread for a leisurely Sunday morning.

Play it in peace.

Love the guitar and the inlay work. What a great gift for a generous craftsman. Thanks for all of your help Todd.

Guys, best thread in a long time! I love it!

Here's my vote for just getting together and starting Greenridge Guitar Co.

Seriously though, I'm freaking jealous of the comradery y'all have. You're the guitar version of This Old House.

Totally awesome and well deserved.

Let me first say that I can hardly believe I remembered my password to this site...I just want to add that I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of this. I feel really lucky that I met Todd, he's easily one of the most generous and genuine people I've gotten to know. He really is deserving of something like this. Getting to collaborate w Chris & Filippo was a treat too, I especially enjoyed being sneaky I think it's safe to say we all got a lot out of it. And the guitar sounded great the other night.
