Finally able to get this pic posted-took so long to figure out, that I don't even remember why I wanted to post it! But here it is anyhow-this ones couple years old.
For you other guys that are having trouble getting your pics uploaded-I think my file was too big and was kicking me out of image poster- this time,I opened/ resaved the pic after using PAINT- the "Image" function then "Stretch/Skew" to 50% and worked good. (Or maybe the glitch that was causing grief before has been fixed) |

I always called it a Nevada style ,till I watched Jerimiah Watts video, he called one similar a Guiterez. I don't know if there is a difference or not, but figured he maybe knew more on this subject than me so I've called it a Guiterez since then ! It's a pretty popular cheek, and I've built several, and have yet to have 2 guys call it by the same name! I think A Bayers had it figured out when he numbered his different styles, a number 4 is a number 4 and tough to call it by any other name!

Richard,
Neat bit. I've been away from the computer for awhile so I'm trying to get caught up on all the posts.
