Overall beautiful, but I am particularly smitten with the multicolor chevron purfling!

Great looking guitar. Love that purfling and all the woods you used.

Love it and the purling has a unique, cool look to it that I appreciate. Brad your guitars always look like old friends and I mean that in the very best of ways, I like old friends :) Nice to see folks using their design eye too.

Beautiful guitar Brad. What jig or method did you use for drilling the tuner holes? I have one of the drilling blocks that StewMac used to sell for those tuners. It worked great for the one 12 string I've built. Not sure why the six a side block was discontinued. Low sales maybe?

I use a 70 year old Stanley Dowling jig to drill the holes.
I accurately mark the holes with a divider and use the jig to guide the drill.
