My new guitar

[Oval Soundhole]

This is my latest guitar, a combination of an OM (15" lower bout) and a jumbo style guitar. Sure you could call it small jumbo, but I don't like oxymorons :D

It ships off to California on Friday.

EIRW back and sides
Lutz top
mahogany neck
ebony bridge and fingerboard
herringbone purfling and rosette
All HHG construction
Delmar pick guard

Very nice. A sound clip would be nice too :-)

He is wearing a really...how do you say...strange shirt in the video, but to each his own, right?
Nice guitar Brian. I am sure the new owner will be happy. This is the "Give-Away" guitar, right?
I have the worst fricken memory. If it is, you should explain what you did to the good folks over here. I think for a guy who wants to become a full time guitar builder, it was a great idea.

Nice job. Pretty adventurous bracing there - how thick is the top?

[Tony_in_NYC]

Darren,
The cedar topped dread I just finished is braced the same way. See?


I need to post a sound clip of this guitar so you all can hear it. It sounds pretty dang good.
