Looks fine, is it build by our C. Vega?

Nice picasso of an instrument.

I have good reason to believe that it is. Let's see what he has to say about it.

Guilty as charged.
Someone over on the Classical Guitar Forum was asking about this guitar earlier today.
As I stated over there, this guitar appears to have undergone some reshaping and refinishing of the neck with thick lacquer or something similar which has cracked and chipped around the heel and on the back of the head.

As I also stated on the other forum, I stopped making guitars several years ago and have sold my tools, wood, etc.
I do, however, retain the lofty (and distinguished) title of Anti-B u l l s h i t Crusader.

So, Richard, you, a proponent of the thinly veiled attempt to impress the unwashed masses by mentioning the Emperador, have caught out he who, in an attempt to upstage you with a sense of moral superiority and inverse snobbery, noted that he "much preferred the local color of the small, family-run establishments." Anti-B u l l s h i t Crusader indeed!

Have a double scotch before going to bed tonight.

Cheers,

Bill
