I finished this guy up this afternoon -- nice old mando, gutsy tone -- and cool looks!

I'd say that was a 'gutsy' pickguard, J.

BTW, been playing one of my Lelands this evening, so that neck looks good.

Great job Jake!

[Tavy]

That's nice, and yes, "gutsy" is the right word for that pickguard, I like it though :)

[Shelagh Moore]

Very nice job again... a cool-looking instrument!

[Jake Wildwood]

Thanks guys -- and yeah, the PG is of course the best part... :D

Is that an original pickguard, Jake?
Nice job on a nice little instrument.
Can we hear it?

Yup, it's original. I'm doing some clips later today so I'll post a link when I do.

I figured it was only a matter of time.

Go figure.
