Why soitenly! Good thing I used the 31mm for all these pics.

Bought this monkeypod from Todd at Allied and am very glad it met Paul's standards! Monkeypod has very similar tontal characteristics to mahogany so pair that with a doubletop adirondack spruce top and you've got yourself killer tones. The downside is that Adi takes a while to open up. This sounded great straight out of the shop but a few years later and a lot of playing, this thing rings like a bell!

I like Paul's take on the end wedge.

Love the rosewood fretboard but for the life of me I can't remember if we picked cocobolo or Indian rosewood. I seem to remember going with Indian but sure looks like coco to me.

A non-guitar pic taken right after sundown today. It may not be for everyone but I had fun taking it.

I like the lens a lot. My use of it is pedestrian, but I enjoy its images.

After a year I've finally found a way to use f/1.8 on that lens
