This is the most amazing top that I have ever laid eyes on.

Where on Earth did you find such a beautiful piece of wood?

That is EXACTLY what I want my first to look like. Breathtaking.

COOL

Here is one I'm just finishing up. It has a monster neck. Full 1" at the 1st fret with a sharp V profile.

Monster neck is right! Wow, really thick.

Nice guitar.

GreaseBox · 03-16-2009, 12:18 PM

Hats off and many kudos to:

Eshuffle = Ken

Roman (you are the bomb!)

John Catto (awesome guitars and lots of help in the luthier's corner)

You guys rock! Definitely three of my fav's that I have come across here.

Keep up the great work, as I am sure you will.

WOW! Incredible guitar..as usual Jack!

I love that it has the Gibson flavor yet is not a clone.

jack briggs · 05-19-2009, 09:15 AM

MRJ5,

Thanks alot!

Customer had sent me several pics of Murhpy era LP's for the color. These 'bursts with red/brown are really hard to capture with digital cameras. My photographer uses a Nikon D3 and applies a blue filter to every sunburst with red in it to keep it from saturating red. The pics here are as it actually looks to the naked eye - brick red/brown.

Cheers,

GreaseBox · 05-19-2009, 09:38 AM

Jack,
As always, your work amazes me!

MRJ · 05-19-2009, 10:02 AM

Beautiful work as always Jack!

monroe · 05-19-2009, 10:22 AM

Here's one I screwed together.

That one looks great! A sunburst LP junior - I really like that!
If I'll going to build a guitar some days, it'll be a LP junior as well I guess!

Jack, a true work of art.
I really like the contour at the heel, the twist in the upper mid section contour and the shading in the upper horn cut out is a very nice touch.
