WOW!!!  :SHK> :SHK>

That is some serious eye candy!  If it sounds anything near as good as it looks, you've got yourself a keeper for sure.

Enjoy making music with that baby.

Sorry for the late response.  Jason is correct I am in Central Oregon just east of the Cascade mountains.   That picture is looking east and if I look to the west ( about 20 miles away ) it looks like this.  We are in the shadow zone of the mountains so it is desert here, but on 20 miles east or west it is evergreens and national forest.

Pretty guitar and nice looking country!

I live in Central Oregon also, but I'm 20 minutes south of Bend in the pines!

Pics are 10 minutes from my house, first is looking East towards Newberry National Monument area, second is looking west at Mt. Bachelor.

That's a beautiful guitar and extremely beautiful country. If I ever get through with school, I want to buy a place out there.

Absolutely beautiful wood! 

This is about as good as it gets. 

I've read that Cocobolo dust can be very allergic to some people.  Linda Manzer had to give up using it for a bit because of the negative way she reacted to it.  She is now building with it again but charges $1,000 extra just for the added labor and protection costs incurred with it!

I've been sleeping at the wheel !!!!

I did not notice the recent posts regarding my Northwood Cocobolo.

It does sound as good as it looks, warm, resonant, responsive, balanced, intimate come immediatly to mind.  The cedar top causes it to come alive with softest of touch, great for fingerstyle. It also handles moderate strumming well, but it is not  dread.  I recently put some Elixir PB 's on it and the bass was more pronounced than the D'Addarios EXP's I've had on it up until now.  Still balanced overall, just more resonate in your belly when you play it.  John does great work and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality hand built instrument for a great price ( PM me if interested )   

I had hoped to to take the best from the Taylor 714 ( Cedar ) and the 814 ( Cocobolo ) models and add some Larrivee building knowledge in the mix.  My gamble paid off and I have a true winner.
