Week through
by Otto D'Ambrosio on February 04th, 2012
Had a really nice time this Saturday. Thank you guys. I had time to work some repairs this week wile the lacquer dries on the Prelude. Another really special instrument came through, A Zeidler archtop flatback, what a real gem. John Zeidler was a true master.
 Another Zeidler in the shop, great work to be inspired by. |

Built in pick uped Prelude
by Otto D'Ambrosio on January 24th, 2012
Almost there Mike.
Just need to let things dry, sprayed this one a warm aged blonde, like shellac. Your going to love it. First Prelude with a real built in humbucker, it's about to get loud.
 Back shot in full sun.  Mike's guitar received color and base coats today. |

Roughing necks
by Otto D'Ambrosio on January 12th, 2012
Cutting necks for resting wile the boxes come together.
A couple 25", 25.4", a few 24.9" and the long scale 26.9"
What great aged maple this group is, all from the same slab.
 Half a dozen maple necks just cut and ready for waiting.
These guys were milled from some 30 year old domestic Upstate New York
maple.
