"Wow, that's the most awesome double neck CBG i've seen so far. I think the only thing that could make this thing better would be custom made pickups.
Nice work man...."

- actually i have my first solo show open now, though I usually do album cover art, the show seems to be going well, I've been terribly short on time since Christmas and feel guilty that I haven't been keeping up with the goings on here as often as I'd like, though I do also have an open question as to anyone who does youth workshops with an opportunity to make an instrument as well as learn to play it a little. It looks like our local music festival can get a grant to accomplish something of t6he sort and i think it would be a great thing to get kids involved with. Nice to meet you

Nathan King said… - Hey Doug,
I did trace the f-holes on the Cohiba Zeeba, but I used a template that I designed from scratch. I've got a relatively simple way to design f-holes, it's seemed to work pretty well for me thus far. Lately I've been thinking I may have to make a video of my "method" and post it up here. Anyway man, thank you for the kind words! I appreciate them very much!
