Geoff, I can't thank you enough for all of the work you did on this and I’m blown away by how it turned out! It was fantastic working with you on this project and I love the overall composition and how the parts fit together. It’s generally me taking what you guys say and running with it during a build, so it was really fun to be on the opposite side this time. While Geoff was working on the demo, he would send me short videos and sound clips but I didn’t see the whole thing put together until it was posted here - guess I got a taste of my own medicine so to speak, 😂 Rock On! Mike

This one really turned out to be one bad ass guitar! Finding premium maple blocks big enough to do a one piece solid body is definitely challenging though. I know a lot of you have already seen these, but for those that haven’t, here’s a few of the pics that we posted.

As far as builds on the bench, Should be crossing into 3 digits at some point this this spring.... as far as assigned serial numbers, I think we’re getting close to needing to talk Gene

Merry Christmas -hope it’s been a fantastic one for all of you!

The carve top SC that I made last year was the same size. Rumor has it that there may be a slightly larger version in the pipeline

I don’t think the soon to be owner of this beauty is on the HFC, and it’s too cool looking not to share -it’s an amazing chunk of maple and man, the flame really popped on it. I can’t wait to get a couple of clear coats on and get it buffed -it’s gonna be one killer looking axe 😎

Thanks for posting Chris! Huge shoutout and thank you to Geoff! It’s been great working on this project with him and I’m blown away by his mad playing skills and his video production- I still can’t figure out how he gets all the dust off the headstock. I’m very excited about the full demo that will be done shortly. Rock on!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!!! You guys ROCK!!! M

Getting ready to do some carving this weekend and these 2are going to be killer when finished

It’s legit. Mahogany centura bolt on. Custom neck. Pretty sure it’s the original color because the serial number is so crisp - not sure about the graphics on the front.

Thanks FC, glad it arrived safely. I’ll add a few pics Trish took before it headed out.

It’s just a reflection from Christmas lights. I’ll put you down for dibs, but I don’t plan to part ways with it anytime soon 😀

He is a fantastic player and a really nice, down to earth guy. We had a nice surprise at one of our holiday parties at the shop when he stopped by and did a christmas concert for us. I think he was a Guild artist at the time. He brought one of his Christmas CDs for each of us, signed them and spent time hanging out with us for a while. It was a cool day, wish I could find my pictures from it.

I absolutely love this one

Some quilts are harder to carve than others, and this was one of them. As I was carving it, Trish kept saying it still looks wavy - that's when I grabbed a beer and locked the door. 😆
