I thought share these pics with you. It's my latest, I just strung it up this morning. I'm enjoying hearing the sound come in and its sounding wonderful. B/S - Australian Blackwood from Tim at Australian Tonewood. Top - Very nice European Spruce. Neck - Mahogany with CF and a 2-way truss rod Binding - Koa with B/W purfs. It's also getting a LR Baggs I-Mix system. I'm waiting for the action to pull in a bit prior to installing it though. 
Thanks for looking. |

Astonishing is right! Jim buddy this is a real beauty. Am I seeing what I think that I am seeing - is the back plate on the headstock inlaid into the volute? Incredible. The sound port looks like one of the larger ones that I have seen - what are you impressions of what you are hearing from it? Killer guitar Jim! |

That's a fine looking instrument. Got a closeup of the inlay in the fingerboard?

That is really awesome Jim! I really like the back of the headstock. Got any photos of the inlay? It looks like a Weyman pattern. Went to Bandelier this weekend and thought of you. We'll have to get together sometime. |

Thanks for the kind words guys. Hesh, The back of the Headstock is in-layed. Lance, the machines are .5 in from the edge. The bottom L/R had to be slightly filed on the bottom to match the cure of the duck tail thingy. |

Really nice! If it's not CNC cut please give us the skinny on how you cut the back of the headstock for inlay. And a shot of the fingerboard inlay please. Bet it sounds great! 
Good On Ya, Danny |
