And from the back. The color of the cypress is not correct. It's the same as on the front. I'm a lucky builder, not only do I build pegheads, but two at the same time and a blanca and a Braz Negra.

Peter, the old artist has a good eye The thing is that the blanca has its rosette and the purfling natural colored and the rest of the guitar is orange. Just like on a Conde. The difference is that this is French Polish, and the Conde is industrial lacquer. I have no idea how my polisher does it, and I've never seen anyone else capable of doing so.

Wow! she is beautiful. I am very curious to know how your finisher is able to apply the orange on the guitar and not the rosette by hand? I know how it's done with lacquer but French polish? I must find out.
We just get the mild winds and some rain from the hurricanes since we are inland. Nothing too bad. Tornadoes are what we have to worry about here in this part of Texas but usually only during March, April and May.
Hi Anders, Stephen hill here, nice to see some of your guitars! We have a mutual client, in the uk Gordon Staples, who has one of my negras from a few years back. I hear good reports about the one he got from you, perhaps he doesnt like mine anymore !!!!? would like to meet you one of these days when I am in spain next. saludables -stephen

Tom;
What part of Texas do you live in? Katy and I were married in San Angelo, Tom Green County, at Goodfellow Air Force Base when I was in the service. In December we will celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary.
The manager of the Pasadena Apartments in San Angelo, where we lived, told us that a tornado had hit one block away. It destroyed steel reinforced buildings. She told us, “Don’t worry about tornadoes. We live in a “good brick building”! I envisioned bricks flying in all directions!
By the way I do not think anyone had a basement in that area. Lots of memories!
You´re welcome anytime you want. Just give me a call 958 485 118. My tlf etc, can also be found on my website. I've just uploaded a lot of new flamenco guitar photos. Last time I spoke to Gordon, he said he liked both guitars
I note (with approval ) that the pegs on this guitar wind in the traditional manner, rather than all inwards as on your original design. Has living in Aldalucía made you more traditional or is it just a whim?
