    We’re blessed we live in a great time and were conversing with one of the future Masters Who will probably go down in history as as good as D’aquisto or D’Angelico

I am just completely guessing because normally the neck can be made straight with the truss rod adjusted while doing the fret leveling. This jig sort of looks like a simpler version of Dan Erlewine's expensive neck jig. I personally do not use that jig he has but this seems to be similar. I would be interested in how your did your fret leveling and dressing. I say that because my Campy in the 20 years I have had it has require zero maintenance. Never have touched the truss rod and the neck is stable as they come, not to mention perfect action.
    DM, first step in a good fret job is making sure the neck is as straight as possible to begin with - I glue fingerboards to necks using a very stiff 3/4" multi-ply clamping caul board, so everything stays nice and straight as the glue sets. From there, the fret leveling and dressing process is pretty standard (in most cases, the neck is straight with no tension on the road, but if necessary I can tweak the rod to get the neck straight prior to fret leveling) - frets are leveled with an 8" flat file - then recrowned - then hit lightly using a 10" straight sanding board with 220 grit - each fret is then hand sanded (across its length) with 400 grit to remove scratches, followed finally with 3M Scotch-brite abrasive pads in medium and fine grit -

    I can speak with 49 years of experience. Best fret jobs I’ve ever played. No plek job will come even close.

    Matt Cushman is awesome too.

    Mark emailed me and told me that I should have my Standard in Cherry Sunburst by the end of next week. This is my first Campellone and I am really looking forward to playing it.

    Dealing with Mark is a pleasure. During the year or so I waited, he kept me informed and forwarded photos as the work progressed--a true professional.

    Yes, my blonde Special should be on it's way soon as well! Mark was a pleasure to work with, did a great job of keeping me in the loop, and helped me through some tough decisions about specs (as I waffled back and forth!). And I think we arrived at a good place- can't wait to receive it!

    I have my third Campy on order, another "Cameo." I received my "Cameo" some time ago. It is featured near the end of Mark's gallery. Mark and I discovered the unique finish.

    I am sure you will be as pleased as I have been since 2007 when I received the "Special." Ray Chesna recommended I consider a Campellone. I took his suggestion and called Mark.

    Mark and I discussed it this evening. It will be worth the wait!

    I have been playing the "Cameo" featured on the last page of Mark's gallery. After a year its voicing is opening up. I just purchased a Carr "Rambler." WOW!!! I was surprised at how well the guitar responded to Stringjoy nickel steel .012 - .052. Both acoustically and on the "Rambler."

    I asked Mark to craft another "Cameo" for me some time ago. Same specs, "surprise" wood with a natural finish. Can't wait!

    I will travel to RI to pick it up. Mark is a special friend and I look forward to spending a bit of time with him.

    BTW. His shop is spotless!

    I think Mark is a special friend to everyone that has one of his guitars.

    I am happy with my herd of guitars. The pie"ce de
    re'sistance is, of course, the Campellone Deluxe, a
    joy to behold, with a remarkably satisfying tone that
    exceeded my expectations. A genuine masterpiece
    of today.

    For those who don't want to wait 2 years for a new Campellone, the 17" Thinline Standard with upgraded wood pictured in this thread is available from Acoustic Music. (at least it looks identical when comparing pictures).The guitar is on Reverb for $5450 with free shipping, but probably a little less if you deal with the shop directly.

    I got my 16" Campellone Thinline from them and they were great to deal with. Wonderful guitar.

    Great shop. I spent a morning there a few months ago, and walked out with a new Collings flat-top acoustic. Nice folks.
