Northfield Posted September 7, 2017 Author Posted September 7, 2017 The quilt on this top is so 3D that it gives the illusion of a mountain range. It's going to look killer when it's done. 20 1 Quote
The Shark Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Tonight's a great night to be #75. Number #70 is in process and I don't care a bit about some being out of order. Every pic from Mike gets me a little closer. 3 Quote

Steve Haynie Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Well, Bob Taylor proved he could make a decent guitar out of a wooden pallet. Mike probably could wow everyone with an OSB top on a guitar. Order one and find out. Quote

Sounded like a Danelectro. 1 Quote
