Joined: March 2006 Posts: 1634 Location: Chehalis, Washington | Just got an update on my Cornerstone handbuilt. He's applying a tru-oil finish on the neck now, so we're about 10 days from done! Enjoy... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Joined: January 2009 Posts: 4535 Location: Flahdaw Beautiful piece. | But what's with the Cornerstone website? That's the slowest thing in the world. Worth the wait, though, as there are some georgous guitars pictured. | | edensharvest |
Joined: March 2006 Posts: 1634 Location: Chehalis, Washington It's actually a kind of tragic story. The guy who designed the website was a customer of the luthier, Peter, who actually was doing missions work in Thailand I believe. He was a techie, and was redoing the website in his spare time. Last year he passed away suddenly, leaving a wife and kids behind. They did a special fund through the AGF for his widow, to help with the funeral and beyond. | At any rate, I'm not sure he was finished tweaking the website before he passed, but you are right, the pictures are phenomenal. This build I commissioned a year ago last November, so we're at about 18 months now, give or take. It's very exciting to be nearing the end...this baby should be making her debut on Easter Sunday. I'm already looking at the possibility of another custom down the road. How does a small concert body in sinker redwood & honduran rosewood, short scale, with all madagascar rosewood appointments sound? | | edensharvest |

Actually, there was a joke a few years ago, because only locals here in the NW know that the backdrop of Seattle in Frasier's office window was fake...the skyline doesn't actually look like that anywhere here.

As to the lettering, what I don't know can't hurt me, and I don't plan on learning Hebrew... | | MusicMishka |
Joined: March 2005 Posts: 5563 Location: Blue Ridge Mountains Andrew, take it from me, Hebrew was one of the most difficult and trying courses I took in my Christian Education: I only needed one year (two semesters) since I had three years of Greek...but your guitar is absolutely beautiful... | | | lanaki |
