Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | The body has been laquered and is almost done. He fretted the fingerboard today, neck will be in finish next week.
Final specs are:
Indian Rosewood sides and back w/side sound ports
Sitka Spruce top
Mahogany neck (neck radius and spacing based on 1681 Adamas 12 string)
Ebony fingerboard and bridge
Abalone rosettes for soundhole but plain body trim. |

Beautiful guitar Stephen. |

The builder is Scott Baxendale.
At one time he was the owner/builder of Mossman guitars. |

Interesting career. Currently negotiating with Hollywood to get Johnny Depp to play his life story. Lots of print in the newspapers here.
I am glad I started working with him about 5-6 years ago before all the hoopla started.

Location: Warren,Pa. | Wait a minute...I already own a 12 fret slothead 12 string. I AM considering cutting soundports in it. Maybe this is the inspiration I need.
I know, I know...this one is a LITTLE nicer than my Pacemaker. |

It's not an idea anymore...I did it to my 6778NEB and I passed it around on the tour. Didn't you see it? John <>{ |

And yeah... I played your modified guitar. I was amazed when I placed the palm of my hand over your "modification" and could feel the air pressure differences when I strummed. |

I know, I know...this one is a LITTLE nicer than my Pacemaker. Don't forget, this one is a CUTAWAY so I can really dig into those soaring lead rips that we all do on 12 string guitars ;) |
