Of course this is only my opinion.
I am a proud owner of a MCampellone guitar and I chose wisely..
Save material, waste time, is the wiser scenario as far as I am concerned.
The days of abundance of material are far gone, sadly.
Time is a commodity to be traded as needed, by the needs of the business.
Taking your time to get the most out of something, especially valuable material seems plenty reasonable.
And still, the train always seems runs on time!! Yes Vin..

I hadn't heard of Campellone before I started lurking on this forum, but after seeing incredible picture after incredible picture, I am sorely tempted to try to get added to the wait list for the wait list, even though I'm more than set in the archtop department.

Rim wood and piece for the pickguard that was left over from the back.

Vinny,
It must be rewarding to be able to see your masterpiece being built, piece by perfect piece.
You deserve it bro. You did it right. And you really got a great friend in Mark. Everything top notch in every way.

Each step in this build is a work of art!

Nice tone coffin. Next some binding.

Wow Vin, you can see the rays on the spruce, without any finish on the guitar.
This is gonna be the one..
I am seriously happy for you bro.

Let the binding begin.

That binding detail is surgery work for sure. Skill hands are needed and plenty of confidence does not hurt.

I've seen some pretty cool things today, and then I get to see this! How nice to feast our eyes on the creation of a masterpiece archtop! Puts a big smile on my face. Thanks for the update Vinny. It's a joy to behold.
-
Excitement is building..
Looking good bro.

It always kind of amazes me how binding is basically melted on.
Mark uses a mixture of glue and acetone but in days of old it was just acetone.
-
Well Vinnie, if mine (the blue burst Cameo) looks anything like yours we'll both have to celebrate!
-
I celebrate my Blueburst Cameo every day. You will have no reason not to celebrate!

What amazes me is all the extra work that goes into the crump.
I’m happy for you bro. You are getting your cameo. It’s going to be amazing.
