Don make sure you dazzle us with pics of your Cameo build. Can't wait

[Max405]

Thanks Vin..

[Don6200]

Ok guys. I responded back to Mark on the specs we had discussed and he sent on the order firm.

I made a few changes. Want to add a floating pick up and chose a chestnut sunburst finish. Mark will choose the right pick up.

Hopefully a pal to you all.

Oops. Ignore the spellings.

[Don6200]

Yes, progress pictures will be forthcoming. Please excuse my drool marks over them.

I can Photoshop if you want me to add slobber.

Hey Don......

[Don6200]

Woah. Yours?

[vinnyv1k]

Woah. Yours?

I wish ! Mark did this one last year when he made my Special.
Those fretboard inlays are incredibly beautiful.
Just think what a Cameo will be worth in 50 years.
May yours bring great joy for many years Don.
A early Congrats !

I’m very happy for you Vin.
You spec’d this perfectly. The perfect balance. When the wood is that beautiful, it speaks for itself. Mark is an artist. He does it the right way. We are all very lucky to be able to watch such a wonderful experience unfold.

Beatiful as can get. Congratulations.
The only guitar in the world that can compare and defeat a L-5 Wesmo is a Campellone.

..Good luck with the wait Vinny -- may be the wrong time to quit smoking, drinking and other completely worthwhile habits !

Congrats !! No surprise at all that it looks great !!

[Gustavo Eiriz]

Do you like most TOM bridge on you L-5s but you prefer Ebony bridge in your Campellone guitars?

Normally I don't like the ebony bridge because of its lack of sustain, but I don't hear that on Mark's guitars.

[vinnyv1k]

Yes for some reason my Campellone Special has huge sustain with a ebony saddle. Also spot on intonation. My L5’s require a TOM if I want perfect intonation and great sustain. Mark has obviously perfected his craft. He builds the perfect L5 type guitar IMO.
