Danny,
Most of them have been step-by-step progress photographed and posted on the "Maphis by SN" tab but not to the extent that Ed has done which I applaud.

I may do a more 'nuts and bolts' coverage of the next start. I'm just finishing a doubleneck and have a new model I'm calling the "Gentry" to far along to start documenting. I may have mentioned this before but I'll be starting another new model - the "Corral". This will be a knotty pine top and mahagany body and neck, single, somewhat on the line of the Gretsch Roundup. So maybe we'll do it with that.

Hey Guys,

Got some new photos up, shaping the backs of the necks, the finished necks
and truss rod making. Check'em out if you get a chance.

Hi Ed, I think the pictures and descriptions of your work are an enormous contribution to this forum. Thank you for sharing this process with us. I am awed by the craft, care and ingenuity that go into the construction of these guitars.

I agree. Ed, not only is this an excellent display of your craftsmanship, but it's an incredibly valuable resource for amateurs such as myself. Seeing how it should be done will make things much easier next time around!

Super to watch again Ed, I took it all from the top like I always do everytime you come with new additions to this thread.
I feel a kind of intimacy when I see you at work and how these wonderful materials come together and take shape and form under your talented hands. I just keep on staring at all the details, as if I myself am going through the guitar-building motions.
I may be sticking my neck out by what I'm going to say now: I find the unfinished work perhaps even better in many ways than the finished work of art! But make no mistake, it would be a dream come true to own one of your beauties.

The photo's are excellent too, you must already have enough material here to publish a book (I'm serious, list me as a buyer of your first publication of "Building My Own Mosrite" by Ed Elliot)...

Hey Gang,

Got a couple more photos up ,let me know if they are loading
on your computers, only about half of them are loading on my computer.
I think it's my sorry @$$ dial-up internet conection, but I could be wrong.

All pictures are working for me. And I must say I am hugely impressed by your work. I'll be studying those pictures for months.

[MWaldorf]

The pictures are there and the guitars are looking great!

Eddy, those look fantastic!
