    Thanks Wes!

    Thanks John! Blizzard is HERE! :-(

    Thanks BB! 

    Thanks Peter! The barnwood for the body comes from a barn on the farm where my Grandma was born, dates to around 1880. It was the lining on the inside of the oat bin, I was lucky enough to be able to salvage all the wood before the barn was torn down.

    A real beauty Maddog! I agree with Bristol on the body wood.

    Your LPG's are so nice and your photo's are just as stunning Maddog . I particularly like the body wood. Real class.

    I hope they were thrilled, Patrick.  This just breathtaking.   Great plate, nice volume control, just a hint of aging on the fretboard and headstock.   Love the way the saddle fit into the zero.   One of your best.

    Blizzard coming, buddy!
