Update on Pauls OMFS

With the Newport in Miami show drawing near I had to set this little beauty aside for several weeks as I finished up the D14 and the 000-OMFS. Now that their off to the finishing booth and can concentrate on getting this baby out the door to one very patient customer! Thanks Paul!
This guitar has fast become my most popular model and wood combo for fingerstylists. The LS Redwood top provides every thing that a cedar top can with an added sparkle and more headroom. Just an amazing tonewood!
The Cocobolo is, well, stunning in every way. Beautiful to look at and sonically incredible. It is by far one of my most favorite woods to work with. I just added two more wonderful sets of Cocobolo to my stash, I will post pictures above.
The bindings are Flamed Koa as is the rosette and the Headstock overlay, back strap, fretboard and bridge are all deap black Ebony.

Last night I did the final neck set and glued it down. Tonight I will fret the board. This one will be off to its new home in New Mexico by the second week of March.

Another beauty in this great wood combination. It looks great now, Lance, and will look even better after the finishing. Excellent work!

Thanks Dave!

I agree, the LS Redwood/cocobolo is a great combo. Maybe my favorite.
