one of the first ones with a bound headstock, it's going to look even cooler once I add the triangle accent.

As these first few CO builds have started to take shape it kind of struck me just how different each one really is.  It's cool how slight tweaks can take the build in such  a different direction.

I know, I know., you all think Mike is using all this to build your CO's.

The truth is, he uses a hammer & chisel, some wire cutters and a pocket knife.

Thats it.

All these fancy power tools are for show.

He must have went to the Burly School of Luthiery.

Man, this is like waiting for the roux to brown, lol. Actually, these pics are kind of like that moment when the trinity hits the roux and the whole kitchen smells great but you know you have several more hours yet. 

Not to go off on a tangent, but I've often wondered why all my guitar buddies love to cook.  It must be something on the "creative" side of the brain.  One actually went to the CIA and worked for Emeril in Orlando.

Not me.  I mean, I can cook...some things...and they're almost palatable, but I'm much better at eating (and custom-ordering and customizing guitars) than I am at cooking.

They look just like Hamer copies of PRS, made by skilled Gibson craftsman located in Indonesia.     🤗

??? Are you sure you posting in the right thread. Just a little confused here.

Just had to have a bit of fun.   

I have a cool one coming my way in a few years.

I thought somebody may have been off their medication this morning.

Geowolves and Hbom, I was just having some fun to see who would bite.  That is my humor.  Mike is cool.  Had a great time getting my Ultimate and meeting him and the family and picking wood for a double cut.  It will be a few years before I see it if I'm still around.  Bad health.

So, come on, PRS, to Hamer, to Gobson, and then Indo?  You had to laugh.  I was.

Stay well and be cool.

And to who pulled my post, .......  well, lets not get me started, or, I'll get banned.  I think I'm on the short list for that anyway.

Oh, and I hope Mike can score the genuine Saskatchewan Elk skin for the finish and the teeth for the inlays.
