Come on.....no one's going to jump on you for owning a guitar that is NOT a Gibson....lol

I have a custom built guitar from John Greven. It must be about 4 years old now. It's based on his 'F' style- an 'OM on steroids' as he calls it.

 

It has a wide fingerboard and It's ideal for fingerpickers. Lacewood and Sitka. The Lacewood has a very interesting effect on the sides- sort of a '3-D' electric guitar look, IMO. I don't know if this picture will show that or not--

 

 

It's my 'office' guitar- never leaves the house.

Hoss....beatuiful wood grain....don't think I have ever seen "lacewood" before....did you order it from him with your specifications or buy it used? Do you have other pics? Thanks....
