Beautiful. Very classy.

Thanks Richard.

Looks great Ross. All classic - but I like the few subtle individual touches like the wave shape in the headstock and the end of the fingerboard. Nicely done! I bet your brother will love it.

Thanks Mark. Yeah he's looking forward to receiving it.

Nice work Ross...good to see the Dreadie is not yet dead.

Thanks Martin. This is my first dready. They are popular in the country scene so I wanted to make one.

Beautiful piece of Walnut!

Thanks Stratoa.
Fortunately I still have a bit more to play with.
