Well, it's now 99% complete. The luthier will be
fed ex'ing the guitar to me on Tuesday, overnight, just in time to play it at
the Boise Experimental Music Festival. Check out the new pictures and

An excerpt that really makes this guitar
special....
"The story behind this nut is just amazing
and mind-blowing. A friend of Bobby's from Alaska sent him a good size chunk of
Woolly Mammoth tusk, which you can see below. Just to jog your memory, mammoths
went extinct roughly 10,000 years ago. Hence, the ivory nut on this guitar is an
actual artifact! I was born in Alaska, and because of this, the size of the
guitar, and its "big guitar sized" tone reported by Bobby, I named the guitar
the "The Little Mammoth.""
