Absolutely stunning. I love the purfling around the headstock. What kind of finish did you use? The spruce still looks really natural, which I like.

yes, very nice indeed.
Is the bridge done by hand or cnc?
Those scallops look razor sharp!

It is partly done cnc and partly by hand. The outside profile, shoulders, scallops/chamfers, saddle slot, bridge pin holes, and a couple of 1/16” index holes in the bottom of the saddle slot are cut on the cnc. The radius profiling and final sanding are done by hand. The bridge pin chamfers are done on a drill press once final profiling is complete.
