I picked up my new Sierra S-12 from Ross yesterday. It is perfect!
The wait was more than worth it. This guitar plays like a dream, with no deflection, really!
I asked for a E-lock, and he installed one better than I could expect.
Ross, can't thank you enough. The only down fall is I'm not getting anything else done around the house!
Keep on pickin' |

Anyone who works with wood can appreciate the beautiful work with added innovation. The alternating inlay on the neck and apron was a great touch. But this is the first I’ve seen a contoured neck. Absolutely stunning work of art!

Way to go, Rob. As I well know, the aesthetic choices are personal (with lots of help from Ross). So every guitar is 'designed' by the owner. You done good! |

OH! Simplified Fretmarkers, huh? Now where did I see that before?
Gorgeous!

I used those offset fret markers on lap steels I built 25 years ago. Not sure where I got the idea from. B6 |

I got the same on my S11 Sierra, just even smaller dots.
I like a clean and Key-neutral “play-field”.
Although I find that even as “clean” it’s still littered with mines and traps! 🤣
Cool not to be the only “weird” one out there!… JD

The fret markers up on the front edge of the neck is a great idea. By putting the fret markers up so only the bar and 1 finger breaks up view of fret markers, Makes it easy to know where you are on the neck. |
