It's been some time since I busted out the camera, but here goes...

The one of a kind, Custom Elite LX 12 String with Bear Claw Spruce!

This thing is amazing. Mike had set it up EXACTLY as described, ready for a medium attack, and I'd say I'm about medium to heavy. It plays like a dream. I've already transitioned 6 songs I was doing on a 6 to a 12. This thing rocks!

Mission accomplished. Probably the best wood top, round back, 14 fret to body, cut-away 12 string guitar ever made. Perfect for my style.

I'm a happy dude.

On with the show...

Dude, you are, like so still giggling aren't you?

Finally got your Red Ryder lever action compass stock BB Gun that won the West - enjoy - and don't shoot your eye out!

BTW - the TRC is a custom Woody ridgn'l.

Nice, but the diamond on the peghead needs to be facing the other way

I already have record more play time on this one than I did the entire time I had the GC.

It was a good move I think. This one will get played. I've already decided that when/if I start playing out, I'll be doing several songs on this baby.

That's a very good description indeed Mike! Speaky of the TRC, what was the original one? LX in gold?

Brass ball on the octave E string is slightly misaligned. Can you get right on that please?

Woody, if you had taken photos like this a year ago that guitar would be mine. Really nice looking.

Congrats to all involved ...

". . Brass ball on the octave E string is slightly misaligned . ."

That can be fixed with three "clicks" of a mouse . . .

And the trc screw is looking a little tarnished.

Other than that that guitar looks freakin' great. Hope it sounds half as nice as it looks, Damon. Enjoy.

"Nice, but the diamond on the peghead needs to be facing the other way".


They sound better when their out-of-phase like that.
