Well, this is #11, made for my 18 MONTH old grandson (hope he is right handed).

I can't wait for this one to settle in as it sounds really good now. I know many of you are anti-bling, but I wanted to try just one so there is a lot of abalone here.

This is macassar ebony b/s and bridge with ebony binding. Top is my LAST master grade sitka bearclaw. FB inlay and rosette is regular abalone, purfling is zip-flex blue abalone. Schaller tuners.

Hey Grand Dad - that's one very cool geetar! Your 18 month old grand son is one lucky guy.

I'm not anti-bling but do think that some of the bling that we see from time to time looks like an after thought and not something that was planned out from the getgo. Your guitar looks planned with a nice mix of repetition of shape and design, color too. Beautifully done my friend!

Don't worry Ron, Two of the best guitar players I have ever met are both left handed but play right handed. Your guitar looks awesome and I am sure your grandson will be proud to play it.

Thanks a bunch guys.

Yeah, John, I'm also left handed but play right handed. He'll learn whichever way I show him, I reckon.
