New bridge, new strings, freshly sanded baby-butt smooth with a fresh touch of linseed oil. Neck is smooth and slick and sounds pretty good with new strings.

 Yes they do, AGP #. Thank you, It was well past time for a set of strings, but they seemed to suit the sound of it. Still breaking in this new set.

"Sweet Southern Ray", quite often some of ones earlier builds, do need a little bit of sprucing up

:-)

Forgot, thank you, Ambrose!

This is build three. The first was a olive oil tin, then a Padron box that sounds awesome, then this one. Not as loud as the others, but sounds nasty when banged on. It's also one of my best playing guits which seems counter-intuitive. Wrote may a groove on this thing.

Thank you Uncle John! My favorite acoustic, she has a real narrow neck and is a joy to play.

Really like the look and what you have done on this Ray.

Very nice, Ray!
