This one isn't jointed yet - we just held a piece of card over the wood blank to show the effect:


Wow, I'm digging that weird sort of "X" pattern!  :o

I know. I got a sneaky peak of a work in progress prototype last year and it's very pretty indeed. If anyone's going to persuade me to get an LP type guitar I suspect it'll be Jonathan.

You should see some of the outragous wood he's got for the 20th Anniversary models... F**K me.  :o

Hmmm, I must see this!

Ok - most of the wood is with my colleague Graham at his workshop being glued up and shaped ready for carving, so you won't see the bulk of them - just the ones we're working on

Here is a sneak peek at a couple . I will start a proper 20th Ann Lion thread in the next few days

This one isn't jointed yet - we just held a piece of card over the wood blank to show the effect:


This one is already jointed and glued up to the mahogany back:

I think I hate being indecisive.

Me too. Luckily (or should that be unluckily) I can't afford one. Hopefully one day...
