Lost track of this one, but it is finally strung up. In the white for now.
Andy Cohen giving it a test drive. Will try to track down a video. I think Danny took some.

OK, trying again with a different file.

Did not work. Said invalid file. How do you post an mp4 file here?

Help!!

Guess I can't get it there.

Hoping this will work. Charley Wagner playing the 1837 Martin copy.

This guitar returned from a fur trade rendezvous in South Dakota where it was played a lot. I am amazed at how good it sounds. Will post a iseo as soon as I figure out how to download it from Christy's I-pad.

Looks great, Grant. If you said already, I missed it…but what is the material used for your bridge? Steve, Bridges on the original guitars were solid ivory. I do have a chunk of mammoth ivory that is almost big enough, but not quite. I found some knife handle material, some kind of resin, that look...

Thanks, everybody, for the kind words. I reworked some bridge pins to a flatter top and larger abalone dots to match those on the original guitar. Used the same abalone blank that I used in the decorations below the bridge.
