Sure wish I could see these on Safari, Brad...oops, just figured it out... Nice stuff! Like the old timey peghead and man, that's some big bubbly maple! Big Leaf, no doubt...? Keep up the good work. |

Keep up the good work. Yes Haans, Big leaf maple. The peg head shape is something I have used for many years -sort of a mix of Stromberg and Gibson. |

Really like the pickup cover and tailpiece. And that maple certainly has some WOW to it. |

Maple and Koa look great, nice shape on the body, like the way the 2 black neck laminates show at the top of the peghead. Well done. Ed |

Ever build a non-cutaway acoustic L5 type, Brad? One of the things I never got around to... |
