During one of the lockdowns recently, I was organising guitar cases when I stumbled across this OM I had 95% finished a few years ago. I built it trying a couple of things out, not all of them successfully and had put it away in frustration after the fourth time I had veneered the arm bevel. After putting this one in a case, I would consolidate the things I did like about it into this jumbo http://www.anzlf.com/viewtopic.php?f=25 ... mbo#p92427

Anyway, finding it in the case and looking at the nice wood on it, I decided it deserved to be a guitar even despite the things I don't like about it. So I veneered the arm bevel, finish sanded, whacked on a quick oil finish and nominated it as my beach guitar :lol:

Looks great. If you take it to the beach it'll get a tan real quick!

All the timber on this guitar flows together and looks great.

Having seen this one in person I'm pretty sure a few of your customers would be over the moon to own it. But what they hey who doesn't want a nice workshop guitar .
