Stunning! What else can I say? I really like the fleur de leis design side port. The wood choices are superb. Thanks for sharing, Peter, |

Very nice-looking work, Peter. How do you reinforce the side where your soundport is cut? And, do you cut that port with a router and template, or do you CNC it? It sure is clean work! Congrats! Cheers John |

The soundport is reinforced with a maple patch and its cut out totally by hand after the sides a bent, glued together and profiled.All my soundports are freehand as they are one of a kind. I don't make any templates.

Nice looking guitar Peter. Love that Redwood top. Still new at this so I hope this isn't a stupid question, but what is the difference in thickness of a redwood top vs. spruce? Vince |

I love Claro. If I was not allowed to use any wood be Claro I would still love Claro. Can we get a better shot of the head stock? |

Yep, you've arrived. Every guitar is another eye-popping treat. 
Big virtual pat on the back to you Peter. Your building chops are what lots of people here, and elsewhere, are trying to achieve. |

Very nice a usual Peter. I have made one guitar from the Zootmans flamed redwood and it had a very nice tone. |

...that is a beauty. I love the soundport and the nicely mayched markers in the board. Very tasteful. The guitar has a nice undertstated look for all of the adornment that is on it. I love when that happens. Regards, Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars |

My neck joint is nothing new.... its only a double mortise and tenon bolt on neck. I think there may be a tutorial somewhere in the forum. |
