Here is the latest BenRom...012. I nicknamed it Nature's Sunburst because of the unique natural staining in the Birdseye Maple board
This guitar went to Tom Webster of Georgetown, ON
As usual, Dale Rivard came and played a tune and tried it out. Here is his rendition of Orange Blossom Special

I had to open it in Chrome, not Internet Explorer.

That is a great sounding steel. Truly world class tone, and your pal is a heck of a picker too!

Great work Bent. I can only imagine how nice the maple flame will will look after aging and mellowing a few years.

Beautiful, Bent. I was wondering why I hadn't seen you on the builders' forum lately. Now I know - you've been busy!

Hey everybody, thanks so much for your kind words. I haven't been on much lately and it was nice to read the thread. Funny how the music works for some and not for others.It is music only, no video this time. I am bad at editing video, sorry.

So after 012, I will be making 011, and then on to 013. Just the way the person wanted it..his lucky number was 011 and he came in behind 012! Not 100% sure yet but the cabinet will be either birdseye or curly maple, finished in blue all over.

Hi Bent,
Funny thing about serial numbers ... I had an acoustic guitar built a while back and the luthier was kind enough to build it 'out of sequence' for me, to accomodate my lucky number.

Hey Lane,
Now I understand your comment to me.
I was baffled for a moment there! 😊
By the way, I really enjoy your input on the forum, and your You Tube video clips.
Lee
