No its not mine unfortunately  This is Steve's aka cottonopolis custom Brook Lyn and I'm sure if prompted he may tell us a bit more.  It looks like lovely walnut to me but I stand to be corrected  Simon at Brook Guitars does like to concentrate on building guitars rather than doing lots of photos but there may be another coming if we are lucky.

Phil, thanks so much for starting the build thread. Well the basic spec is ; Engelmann Spruce soundboard, with Madagascar Rosewood back and sides. The guitar is roughly based on Martin 00-45/ 28 without all the bling around the body. Torch headstock and a tinted top as the Stephen Stills Martin. Simon has sent me two more photo`s that will appear soon.(Thanks Phil).

Thanks again Phil. After managing to put the build to the back of my mind, I am now like a kid waiting for Christmas  |

If it is anywhere close to Phil's custom Brook you will have a wonderful instrument on your hands.

I thought I recognised that rosette cottonopolis I was just sat here looking at my Lyn with Clive Carroll on the TV YouTube playing a beautiful Bown 12 fret slot head at Dream Guitars and just wondered. Phil |

Beautiful! Very jealous. I'm currently trying to spec a custom build and hoping to visit their workshop in a few week's time.

My OM is in progress, end March early April hopefully.
I was originally thinking of a Lyn, its something I may look at in the future.
What is the headstock logo, very similar to the Martin torch ?
What binding did you choose ?
