I can see why, Jean. That's a great looking acoustic.

Does the tag inside say Martin?

Yes, I used a Martin tag copy, but it say : Custom build by Jean GODBOUT.
Any way, this guitar is not for sale.

Wow! Some absolutely beautiful work here! That spalted maple Tele got me all weak in the knees!
Here's some of my stuff.
I wanted a the roar of a Gibson SG in a guitar that had a 25 1/2" scale. I also wanted it to balance properly without being neck heavby the way SG's are.
This one is based on the venerable old Gibson L6-S. Close your eyes, plug it in and it's pure Angus Young!

This one really ticked off John Hall and some of the Rickenbacker faithful.
If they hadn't been such arrogant snobs to me when I politely called and asked if they'd build me a 360 with a full size neck, there would have been no issue. This guitar corrects many of the inherent problems with the 360 model from the ergonomics to the basic construction.
I built this 100 year old black walnut and did the binding with maple. The inlay is also black walnut and I sort of, altered the shape to something I felt better suited the other styling cues on the guitar. The peg head has an extra degree of rake and the neck is a full 1 11/16" wide at the nut, 2 3/16" wide at the 22nd fret.
Three sets of pickups have come and gone in this guitar before finally settling on a set of Pete Biltoft's Mini-hum sized P90's.
Shock! Horror! A volute on a 360 neck?! That's right!
