If you were paying attention to my last post. You will know that my wife and granddaughters went behind my back and commissioned this guitar for my 25th wedding anniversary. It is to the specs I have been putting off building for my self for the past couple years due to my commission load.

Anyway Name this builder

Just a shot in the dark, but McGill comes to mind when i look at the Bridge and the use of sapwood, but the headstock is not like a McGill.
Sweet guitar none the less!

Congrats Michael!

nope

It is not here yet. I found out because the builder sent these photos to Diane. She is in the hospital right now and asked me to go through her email to see if she had anything from work. I saw this and asked her about the pictures and she came clean and told me it should be here next week or the first of the week after and not to let the grandkids know I know. so mum is the word. It is gorgeous isn't it :D

Boaz Elkayam? I know it's a little conventional for his style, but the bridge and the use of back and side wood seems a little evocative of his work.

Headstock looks to me like a Bellucci. Rosette confirms it I think. I actually Know very little about concert Guitars but I like to learn new things so I do a lot of researching on different topics...?

Hope Micheal does not mind that I got lucky.
