Default Angel Step Maple B&S FS Guitar Build

Well, it’s getting to be that time of the year when some of our favorite luthiers start a new build…Fingerstyle guitar with Angel Step Maple [emoji260] B&S

Looking [emoji102] forward to seeing this baby get built!

I didn't notice the towel, but I spotted the bender pipe with the door behind it right away!

On a guitar-related note, the FS and the CS are both fantastic Kinnaird models--your friend will note be disappointed!

Love the wood choices and look forward to seeing it with finish!
