I shook Linda Manzer's hand today

Here's another photo of my guitar

Very exciting

Seems like it's missing something...

Stickers? Strap pegs? I don't know...

Bender is going to be added after the guitar is completed.

When does the "Hello Kitty" sticker go on.... Floyd? Sparkles?

My buddy Joe has an acoustic with a B bender on it. Works well. I'll see if I can get some video of him playing it.

Here's the fingerboard.  It's ebony, but obviously with a little bit of streaking 

 

[TroubledTreble]

Nice! Yeah they tend to frown on streaking here in the U.S.  :tard:

Nice board, it has some character which is always preferable. Keep the progress coming!

 

[SustainerPlayer]

You've got a couple of high dots.  :icon_jokercolor:


That fretboard is just beautiful!  :icon_thumright:

Thanks man!

Peggy put a bunch of photos of the guitar in progress up on facebook:

If it sounds half as good as it looks, it's gonna be great.

 

[Cagey]

Now it's "Peggy", eh? Does your wife know about her?

Y'know... I don't see any beer on the bench. I'm not sure this chick is serious. I'll bet she still has all her fingers.

Otherwise, I'm envious. This thing is gonna be a joy.

 

[bbl4ck]

That girl is really looking sweeeet!!!
And yes, I am green with envy...
:kewlpics: :rock-on:

here's some more photos.  Peggy offers the following text to go along with the shots:


"Hi
I have the neck pretty much carved and have started french polishing the body. I'll be taking it to Toronto with me on Tuesday where Linda will oversee the final neck carve and then I'll move in to fretting, gluing the bridge and making and installing the nut and saddle.
Oh, by the way...your Hoffee case arrived! It's gorgeous!
More next week.
Peggy"

I'm an excited man.  :headbang:

Is that a carbon fiber case?

You have the best taste in cases and not too bad on the guitars either.

Looking nice.

 

[keeper006]

Who's Linda Manzer?
:dontknow:

Trained by Jean Larrivee (my Larivee makes my Martin sit in the corner and pout) and Jimmy D'Aquisto.

Is that a carbon fiber case?

Forget the grandpa guitar, show me more of that carbon fiber!

 

[Cagey]

A "grandpa guitar"? Have you ever played a really good acoustic? They're inspiring. The sound is so delicious, songs practically write themselves.
