Well, Ken, I think it's all been said, so I'll just say congratulations. I think your visual design sensibilities are superb.

Beautiful guitar Ken!

When are you moving to NW AR so you can give me a few pointers? <smile>


My wife and I stayed in Jasper for two weeks in 1978. Does that count?

Ken, it was great seeing you at HB, and oggling your nice guitars. Wasn't this one there?
Thanks for the interior shots. As impressive as the outside is, the lining inlet into the corner blocks is what makes me tip my hat!

The only thing more beautiful than that back is your level of craftsmanship! Fantastic work, Ken! That is one gorgeous guitar.

Good to see you too at HB and your beautiful guitars. Yes, I had this one there by day two. I was pushing to get it finished in time. I do like to let in those linings. It might be a way of resisting some pressure or not, but it just makes me feel better. I'm pretty quick at it now. I just drill out most of the slot and clean up what's left will some files.

Thanks for the comments, Heath, the purfling is cherry and dyed maple.

Hey Ken,
Back in town. Wow, that came out nicely. If it's still around I want to play it.

Ken,

Beautiful. Inspirational. I retire this year and intend on attending more guitar shows. You are on my list of great luthiers I want to meet.
