I picked up two stunning sets of Guatemalan Rosewood today! It is said to have the same tonal properties as Brazilian! I cant wait to use it! If this set speaks to you, give me a call! ;-)

Update on John Creechs D-14
I often think of this stage of construction as the "ugly duckling stage" I can see the pending beauty, but as the guitar is sanded and scraped in to shape, its almost as if its molting its ugly duckling feathers and reveling its potential.
I don't know? May be silly but its how I see it :-)
So, here is Johns D-14, the body is bound, the fretboard and bridge are some of the finest Brazilian I have. Now its on to the neck.

Update on Johns Dreadnought

Long overdue update!
Hi Folks!
A quick update on a few happenings. First, Mike Crixells 00-OMFS is looking more and more like a guitar!
The top has been glued down to the body closing up the box. (Pictures later) John Creechs Dread has been fully braces and voiced and the back has been attached to the sides, Top should go on later this week. Next its on to the bindings for both. Mark Cashmans E2 will be getting its top bracing today. My goal is to have all three of these guitars ready for finishing by the first week of February. Lastly, a new mouth watering set of Koa has arrived, as well as another stunning set of Malaysian blackwood.
