The flamenco’s finish is coming along nicely. Layer upon layer upon layer. Polish. Cut. Repeat. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #shellac #frenchpolish #flamencoguitars #flamenco #conde #luthier #bespoke #guitarmaker #guitarmaking #bespokeguitars @toneconnoisseur #toneconnoisseur #toneconnoisseurmagazine @toneconnoisseurmagazine #williamhancockguitars (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clh6FD_y5xa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After close inspection it appears there were more of my weird guitars on the news. Technically seven of them were represented. In the news last night. On tv. In prime time. Couldn’t believe it when @lukeeborall sent it through. Plus the Australian Guitar Workshop concept, the @stewmac weekend assembly course and the gold trophy in the New York leg of the @awards.design Better Future awards (in education product design category) were in the shot. As well as the Conde flamenco I built for @toneconnoisseur Coloured Pencil guitar. Ruler guitar. Tattoo guitar. Another purple guitar. A bit of @kathleen.halloran.music jumbo, and of course the toddler guitar. @melbourneguitarshow 2023. Finishing on a…. ahem…high note. Badoomtish. Had a good chuckle about the title of the @abcnews_au news story too. Very relatable. Almost like it was written…William Hancock Guitars. As seen on TV. 😄#dennisdenuto #thecastle #film #itsmabo #itsthevibe #wenowreturntoregularprogramming . . . . . . . @abcinmelbourne #williamhancockguitars #australianguitarworkshop #melbourneguitarshow #guitars #melbourne #music #bespoke #luthier #luthierguitars #asseenontv #abcmelbourne #abcnews #betterfutureawards #stewmac #toneconnoisseur #toneconnoisseurmagazine (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcF472u6GI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The show went well. Even made the front page of the ABC news! That’s my ‘Emmeline’ on the right, now New York bound and into the safe care of @toneconnoisseur and his lovely daughter. #abcnews #guitars #melbourneguitarshow @melbourneguitarshow #news (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpZsh7POQ9j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Emmeline”. Huon Pine topped Flamenco with figured Australian Redgum rosette, in the style of Conde.

Soundboard carving fun. Nothing like that zip of a plane on some well seasoned Western Red Cedar. #flamenco #bespoke #guitars #conde #toneconnoisseur @toneconnoisseurmagazine (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChvyY4ivB_R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
