Nope, not this this year.... 
I built this guitar specifically for Healdsburg and I wanted to build 2 more so I could take 3 total. Unfortunately my schedule did not permit me to build the other 2 so I decided to wait one more year.... Anyway, here's the final product. Black Limba Back and Sides Master Grade Englemann Soundboard 5 piece Neck Brazilian Bindings Paua Abalone Purflings on Soundboard, Back, Fretboard and Headstock. Black Pearl Logo B-Band A2.2

Soooo elegant!!! How are those fat frets to play, or do my eyes deceive? |

I think Don means on the neck, at least that is what the neck looks like. Peter, I saw that sweet thing in person! Excellent work!

Peter, you did a great job of photographing the guitar without any glare or reflection. Maybe that's why Don thought it was flat. Glad I didn't say it!

Hmph. I know a satin finish when I see one.  
Either your photography is really great, or really bad! Either way, great looking axe.

Peter, the guitar looks great, I especially like the silking in the top. Bet it sounds great! Are you going to make it to HB, even if not exhibiting? |

Guys, I'm humbled by such comments! I have found that one of the hardest things to do is get a good set of woods that compliment each rather in a whole. A nice set of back and sides and a good soundboard needs a way to tie it all together.... Thank you, |
