Todd, Where do I sign up for a raffle ticket? I'm dead serious! What a cool guitar.

You just have such an eye for proportionate blending of woods, as well as aesthetically pleasing color combinations. Upscale and elegant, yet not snooty. The abalone ribbon crossover is just such a cool and classy touch...

I love to see your work!

Dennis

Really inspiring work Todd! And yes, the idea of the letting the hat show the color of the shirt is great. Like your guitars, a nice artistic touch.

So, as my other brother Dennis is asking about raffle tickets. I bet you might could sell one or two around here as well!

Live auction only, I have no idea what they're starting the bidding at. It's the guitar plus 3 lessons to get you started. I have no idea if anyone will buy it, my wife seems to think so.

Disclaimer: The rosette twist was my design "idea" (just as far as including it in the rosette), but it was taken from a friend who does the same thing on his back strips.

My friend has a partner who designed the twist on the back and I simply suggested he carry it over into the rosette. It's CNC'd in there but man it's super smart. Not mine originally, I just added a twist to what I'd already seen him do.

And hey Dennis, I'm cool with Snooty!! One of the best thing's I'm good at is color coordination. Lines and proportion. You should see me shop for cloths!! I can't draw dragons, airbrush skulls, or design killer art deco inlays but I can make lines and color schemes look good. Thanks!! Starting to finish sand the body to start spray (seal) tonight!!! Thanks guys. Todd

Live auction, eh? Well, I suppose getting Dennis L to bid for me is probably NOT going to work! Pretty sure he'd manage to out bid me!

Regardless of who's design, I'm with the other Dennis, you make it look good, and work with he rest of the guitar.
