He told me that he had done the headstock binding and laminating months ago, and he's barely cut the bodies and tops. It's a shame he's such a scam artist, because the guitars are pretty nice.

The pictures were taken with an iPhone 5s, so they could be as old as September 2013.

The metadata timestamp of shutter capture on one of those jpegs viewed in Adobe Bridge is 02/24/2014 10:30:52, so that was the stage he was at almost two months ago.

I just realized thats at least 8 guitars completed as of January, plus Brandon's and several others including Frederik Thordendal's Domineer 8FF are getting nearer to being finished too, and the Nolly run has started.

8 guitars in the last 3 months, granted two were NAMM/in-stocks and one was for Nolly, but still not bad!

Hopefully he keeps up the pace and there will be many happy customers.

Anyone get the impression that the past few months worth of drama possibly did convince whatever American shop he hooked up with to pull out of the deal?
