    Yeah Chris- that's a fabulous looking and sounding guitar. Well done!
  • The passion I saw when you described this guitar. You are most definitely proud of it and you should be. It’s always a plus and pleasure when a luthier can play as well. Wow what a beautiful guitar!!!

    I worked in construction and the first time I saw birdseye maple was many years ago when it was used as a veneer in a high-end tenant improvement. Absolutely beautiful wood. Beautiful looking instrument! Sounds great as well!

    I know it doesn't have the typical Driftwood bling, but man... I think that might be the most beautiful guitar I've seen on this channel. It sounds incredible too! I feel like the highs and lows start out very separated from each other, but converge as the notes ring out. Incredible work Chris!

    The bridge material and design are outstanding

    Thank you for the demonstration. I had a guitar built almost 25 years ago and it is quilted maple and shares many of your spot on building techniques. Occasionally my shoulder doesn't like the extra depth but the sound is undeniable! I love your work!
