Here is the eleventh guitar that I have completed. It is an OM with B&S and neck of black walnut and top of Sitka spruce. I venture to say that it is the best sounding SS that I have built to date.

Looks good Wayne, although the pic resolution prevents us from fully appreciating your great work.

That looks great Wayne. I'd love to see larger photos. I'm in Raleigh and at about the same level of experience as you...

Congratulations on #11

It would be nice to be able to see some detail. Pic's are so small it is hard to appreciate what you have done.

Thanks everyone for your comments! I did resize my pics too small. I'll try resizing to get more detail.

And Steve, I remember meeting at the Blues Creek Open House in Durham.

Well, thanks again for everyone's comments. After playing it for a short while, it is beginning to open up and I'm getting really good comments from my pickin' buddies as to the tone. I think I am developing an affection for walnut guitars, Quine!

Steve, the finish is nitro cell lacquer.

Hey, Wayne! That's a great looking guitar. Congratulations on another good one! My last was Walnut too, and I'm really liking the wood and the look.

Very nice guitar. I especially like the way you set off the three piece back. I love walnut.

Well done Wayne! I don't know what it is about OM's but they can sure be great guitars. I've done 4 or 5 and I'm very happy with them all.
