Several more lovely sets of Cocobolo acquired!

Just in, more stunning cocobolo! Actually, four sets! Two are of the "unbelievable" nature! Much like the set used on the "Little 0-12". And two are just plain fantastic. They are large enough for my OMSF model, possibly my E2, I haven't measured for that yet, and are clearly big enough for my 0-12. They are available now for future guitars. I suspect they will all be spoken for shortly though.

Moving forward! Back in the shop!

This week has been somewhat productive.
I will have DavidRs OMFS back from finishing on Saturday, the same day PaulFs OMFS goes to finish.
In the interim, I have gotten some more work done on the Brazilian Addy 0-12 for the Miami show, as well as Mike Crixells LS-Koa OMFS, I have the sides bent and blocked as of last night.

Also on my bench is a pair of OMFS' for Jack Wills. The backs are done and I am working on the tops now. Not a lot in the way of images to show, ill try to snap some tonight....

Im back, some what adjusted to the Eastern time zone.

Although, id have no trouble getting use to the Pacific time zone out there in Northern California, man what a great place!

I had a great "first" Healdsburg show, took two sold one (the little 0-12) and have several people very interested in the MBW E2 contact me since returning home. Below are a few select images from the show, and a slide show of over 200 random images. Enjoy!

Time for me to get back in the shop! David R's guitar is two weeks out and Paul F's first of 3 is headed to finish now. Next on the build list is a pair for JackW, Mike Crixells LS Koa OMFS and RayB's LS/Coco OMFS. More on them later!

Last note, Id like to thank Chris and the Luthiers Mercantile Int staff for putting on a show that exceed all my expectations! What a great bunch of folks! Good work guys!

Me and my table.

Slide Show of the weekend!

Two for the show!

Well, the 0-12 and E2 are on a plane headed to California. I will be following them out tomorrow. I am very pleased with how both of this guitars turned out, especially the 0-12. It has a sound that I have been looking for. It is sweet, complex yet not overly full of overtones, and volume, this little guitar is a cannon. I have another one going in Adirondack and Brazilian I cant wait to hear! I will try to update my Blog each evening from Healdsburg, IF I can find a wireless hot zone. Until then, here are some parting shots of my Healdsburg Guitar Festival 2007 offerings!
Both guitars are for sale, now and at the show, if you are interested please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks

Healdsburg Report II

Just 10 more days until we head west! The E2 is done and ready to go, the 0-12 is still a few more days off. I am hoping to ship them both off to the show this week.
Along with attending the show I plan to make some great memories with some good friends. Luthier Matt Gage and I are planning a trip to the redwood forest, and possibly the Pacific Ocean which I have never seen. I will plan to update my blog during or after the show each day, if time permits, so if your interested stay tuned!
