Comment by AGP # on June 3, 2016 at 8:02pm: "Super Duper Nice Looking Build"

Comment by Gary W aka Rev. Bluejeans on June 3, 2016 at 9:55am: Thanks Dave - it came out of a pretty good sketch!

Comment by Dave Lynas on June 2, 2016 at 12:46pm: That f hole is fabulous!

Comment by Gary W aka Rev. Bluejeans on June 2, 2016 at 11:32am: Greg - a bonus of that swooping body is that your forearm fits there nicely, helping to comfortably secure the strummer in place. Plus it's durn purty in the lingo of Uncle-John-speak! ;-)

Comment by Gary W aka Rev. Bluejeans on May 31, 2016 at 4:16am: Greg - Thanks so much! I like building these little strummers. This one's my fourth strummer-style.

Unc - you're a tough judge to please! ;-)
