    -MUCH MUCH RESPECT TO YOU FRIEND• for simply responding to those that comment. That is very very seldom done by channel creators. Some still do it and I hold them in high regards.
    Along with Great ideas and color schemes that will cause anyone to love the work. Lot of folks can do the work but end results speaks for itself. No need to brag , that would only diminish the status. Let the ‘onlookers’ Brag for ya, and they• We will. Haha.
    If you don’t mind I would like to use some of your color scheme & ideas with my son. We have a few in progress (guitar build hobbies). We are Not professionals or in any kind of competition. Just making something my son can/will remember me by. My hopes/prayers that we can get them finished nicely. Beautiful work friend. What a gift it is to have talent and time to use that talent. It is a gift.👍🏽

      I was ready to plug your son’s comment into google translate...😆. Use ANYTHING that you see me do. I’m a believer that there are very few original ideas left in the guitar world. The number of strings has come and will go, but colors and shapes have all been used at one time or another. Build away! Sawdust and music are very therapeutic, and that’s why I don’t have any bad days. Cheers!
