It's not for sale, I just thought it deserved to be shown. My brother built this for a man in Delaware.
The body is Walnut and Pecan.

That looks great! Nice choice of woods, I've never used any pecan, but love the finished look.

I love the pegging and the laminates.

Me too, a nice touch.

Really beautiful ! Gorgeous. Personally, I do not care for the positioning of the vol and tone controls, however it is a fine piece of workmanship.

Walnut & Pecan?

What is he, nuts??!?!?!

(sorry)
If he'd used maple there'd be a syrup gag right there.

Beautiful work though!

Love it!
Really nice.
I especially like the detail where he let in the end of the keyheads at the neck. Did he machine the keyheads and bridge, or adapt them from something store bought?

Don, I believe he bought the hardware from Scotty's Music. I'm not real sure but I seem to remember him sayin that. He does nice work. He has built guitars, basses, harps, and steels.

Man what beautiful guitar. I absolutely love the cabinet woodwork----I can see one like that in my future. Hope he keeps up the good work.
