Joe, What a stunning little guitar! A perfect blend of old and new.

I think the finish you chose was the perfect choice to bring the body and neck together. I bet it sounds pretty sweet too...

Nice job.

Cheers,
Bob

Thanks guys!
Yeah I'm enjoying this one. Very comfortable playing guitar, and seems to have what I want soundwise.

Hey, Joe,

That's a great-looking guitar. I've always thought that L-1 shape was one of the coolest. The oak is great, too.

Man that turned out nice! Great job on the finish. The neck and the body look like they've been together for a long time.

It's great you have made time for this. I'm sorry you and way too many others are having to deal with a disease that steals your loved ones in small bits at a time. It's been stealing my mom for 4 years.

Nice goin', Joe! Instant antique mojo.

Can't wait to hear some of your blues coming out of that box. Just a few weeks... :~)
