Best of luck with the new era of Madeleine, Paul!
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Does this mean you're out of the Rick Restoration/Customization biz too?

Job well done thus far & more to come!
Oh, no, never. I'm busy as ever.

What's wrong with a "Madeleine" classical?

I will definitely clear my backlog of Rick acoustics before embarking upon my new venture.

Incidentally, a portion of the purchase price of each Madeleine guitar will go toward research on HLHS.

I do plan on building a limited number of hand-carved archtop Madeleine Jazz Guitars. As John Hall says, it's all down to available time.

Well, if your previous stuff is anything to go by... nothing... I'm sure we're all interested to see your own designs, Paul! :D

Guilty....I had a six string acoustic that Paul built for me....sold it when I needed some cash for other projects and have always felt bad about it. I'm happy w/the six string acoustics that i have now so when I was this one a 12 string built by Paul I had to do it
