And one more of the guitar getting ready for the trip out west.



Thanks for checkin' it out.

How do you clean drool off of a keyboard?

Excellent work John.

Hey John,

that's breathtaking work!! I simply love it and it's a noncutaway. Some lucky feller is going to be thrilled.

Super stuff!!

Best,

Keyshore

John, I really like your sense of design. Everything works so well together.
Don't you love a 12 banger?

Steve

Hi John! Nice work. Too bad you couldn't bring it to Healdsburg. How does it sound?

Beautiful John....and its a 12 stringer, like the one I want you to build for me! Ahhh you are such a tease ...O.K., can you build one with a sinker redwood top, with Blackwood (African or Malaysian) or Cocobolo back/sides (auditorium sized like we had discussed before)?

Bit of a sidetrack here...sorry.
Is it just me....or does ziricote look an awful lot like the Madagasscar RW that was available several years back (and I don't seem to see any more)??

John, here is a pic of one of your Mad RW guitars from awhile back;
http://www.graceworksmusic.com/Osthoff%20review.htm

And just to toss a wrench into the works...there is this Taylor;



Reportedly, the back is cocobolo and koa. !!
Can't recall seeing cocobolo look like that. Again, I thought for sure it was either Mad RW or zirocote.

I played that 12-string when I visited John's shop a couple of weeks ago. It's a super fine looking guitbox and tonally stunning. I want one!
