    Rocks!

    Great looking shop too.
    I spy a "Cantook" hanging up on the red hangers.
    Brings back memories of the old days in the sawmill.
    It's a tool we used to roll logs with.

    Looks like wiring and maybe a set up are all that are left. Looks sweet!

    I should be getting it in the next couple days. He's going to replicate the headstock logo on the guitar case, too.

    Finally - it's home! The thing sounds amazing - the Kinman P-90s sound outrageous and there is a nice "snap" to the sound - I suspect partially because of the string-thru body.... enjoy the phtots. I just wish I was a better photographer, because these phtots don't do it justice.

    The center strip down on the neck; the body, neck and headstock binding and the knobs and pickup covers are all from the same piece of rosewood. The back and neck are made from a rally old piece of mahogany and the cap is western maple.

    Chuck, he ended up selling that guitar that you played at the jam in Stratford.

    Me too - I was hoping it would be a bit lighter - but the mahogany is really dense wood. SOUNDS amazing, though!
