No I don’t. Mark is bending the rims already.

.....That reminded me so much of the old old days - -Mom yelling at me for bothering Dad - -

- - -" Dennis, leave your father alone - how's he ever going to finish that if you're bothering him all the time ?? "......

: ).......and of course it looks great, Vinny !!

Wow Vinny! That's some amazingly beautiful wood! Thanks for posting the progression. It's really exciting to see it happening.

Cheers

The thing about Mark Campellone is it doesn’t matter wether you get a Standard or a Cameo. The quality will be the same…..perfect.
I wish I jumped on the Campy train 20 years ago.
He will go down in the history books as another great Italian archtop maker.
Italian food and archtops, doesn’t get better than that.

Vinny I think that choice of top you made was a good one.
Between you and Mark there's a lot of experience going into that guitar.
Priceless really.

Doesn't get better than that ! The Special is appropriately named.

Dig the chevron pattern of the upper 1/2 of the back, really nice looking axe.

Thanks, Mark and I went through quite a few back sets to arrive at that bookmatched pair. One of the few he still has like that.

I know you’re joking about being jealous, but for the record - your’s is another stunning Campellone!

You know, I don't really appreciate posts like this - my jaw dropped so far open, and my tongue rolled so far out of my mouth it landed on my Newfoundland and how its covered in dog hair!
