Here I find myself at the assembly portion of this 73 mica to lacquer Emmons. I just hope I don't melt in the heat of my shop!

Thanks,

This will be the last one for awhile. Lots of work, hours, and money to get these great guitars to this condition. I need to get back to building amps

thanks for sharing, the blue one Damir has listed is basically my dream guitar, thinking about selling my truck to buy it...

Well since I built that guitar I can tell you it is really something to play and see. You will never regret owning that one for sure.

Mike,

Another masterpiece in the making. Great job as always.

I wish I could have snagged the blue one! Maybe someday...

Wow Mike, what a work of art!

That looks awesome! I didn't know it was a fatback too!

If he's available, please have Wayne Dahl come over and video a few more licks on THIS guitar after it's completed.

It would be interesting to AB both this red PP and the blue one provided Damir hasn't sold it! How about it Damir?

Wow Mike, I'm partial to the red. That is absolutely stunning. Prettiest guitar I ever laid my eyes on. Ditto on what Don said about letting Wayne hit a few licks on it.

Have a good weekend
