Beautiful guitars!

Gotta love those palm-tree-beach-with-crater-in-background-Hawaiian motifs ?

Thanks for posting the pics Studmissile.
Had Richard Bryns play them yesterday, he loved them both and was partial towards the 12 Fret.

Glad and relieved the rebuild worked out.
Finish on the 12 fret for interest is Tung Oil. There was no finish left after years of probably being in the sun and elements. Cleaned off the surface dirt with white spirit and used a mix of white spirit and Tung Oil just to recondition the neck. Did not do any sanding left as is after removing copious of epoxy resin the was on the side of the neck.

Man, I would love one of those..... Looks great. :goodtimes:

Are you going to use them mainly for slide?

Chris-Mason

Setup has been done for slide fingerstyle combination. Not too high. I am used to a fairly low action for slide. The 12 fret set slightly higher than teh 14 fret.
