The top is glued onto your guitar now, too. Next job is to start preparing both guitars for binding/purfling.
Funny you should mention that because I was also going to suggest that Paul might like to have it come over for a sleep-over.

Location: Pueblo West, CO | As an aside, I thought folks might like to see the RC model airplane kits I used to sell.
I recently re-activated my old site for historical/archival purposes, so they are available online once again.
See: Savage Light Industries - Radio Control Model Airplanes Enjoy! |

| Nice to see the ol' Flanker again. I wish it was still around. At least I still have my F-4.

Thanks. The F-4 is a very popular design, both in the full-size and in model form. |

I know what you mean. I miss my Platypus, too. Ditto for the F-106. In that way I'm glad I never built the F-111. |

Location: SoCal | This is when it starts to get really exciting because now you can start visualizing what it will look like when completed. Dan's done 2 guitar for me and when they both got to this stage, my heart really started lusting for the end result...... |

I felt the same way, and mine was a parlor to boot! These are looking nice Dan! It's a shame we're 3000 miles apart from a parlor comparison session. (Would that be cool or what?!  ) |

Beautiful work as usual Dan! I noticed that your Englemann top has a lot of silking while Jonmark's Adirondack seems to have less to none. Is that a trick of the lighting in the photo or is that characteristic of the different types of spruce? Really interesting and educational. Can't wait to hear how they sound! As always... thanks for sharing!

PS: Patch, maybe you can do a triple play page on the calendar with yours in it, too.

We could, but for my money, I'm leaning toward the steel string editions. |

Thanks, Ken.
No, you're correct. The Englemann has more silking than the Adirondack. That's one of the things I like about it. It also doesn't have a racing stripe, like the Sitka and Adi tops I've done before.
Me, too.
They both tap similarly. The Adi has a slightly lower pitch and the Englemann, a slightly higher pitch. But, they're both going to sound great. |

Those parlors are looking very pretty. I'm sure they're going to sound as good as they look!
