A matching (Stage) Guitar Stand would be an awesome addition.. Great Job once again.

If I were rich, I would order a guitar from you. Beautiful work!

nice guitar I wonder what it would have looked like with a thin piece of coco as the pick guard. Just a thought. Its a shame that only your belly gets to look at it when you play. Just an aside; has anyone seen Taylor swifts guitar? That is the curliest maple I think I have ever seen

Wow is right! That is an amazing grain. I would be afraid to brush up against it with anything but my skin. That’s too beautiful to risk a scratch. (No pun intended) Nice guitar!

Wow! That really underlines the level of skill and craftmanship you have.

The binding is curly maple and I am very lucky to know this great luthier and call him my friend. (He’s one helluva picker too)

Special!

Excellent guitar.

Did you have any issues finishing the cocobolo?

Fantastic guitar and beautiful wood too. It looks like a lot of excellent craftsmanship and art went into it’s making.

-- Mike, American in Norway

Absolutely brilliant looking guitar, the book matching is great, such a beautiful instrument makes me a bit sad I am unable to play anymore, it looks as if it will sound as great as it looks.

Awesome! How do you get started learning to build something like this? I play a little and have always dreamed of building a special instrument. Would you recommend starting with a kit from Luthiers Mercantile International, for example?

-- Glenn, Arkansas

DUDE…..!! Wow.

Beautiful back. I have some Cocobolo that I plan to use on a telecaster neck. Lots of warnings about personal protection when working this wood. What was your experience? Unfortunately, I lack a dust collection system and will rely on a respirator.
