This one is finally ready to ship. Not totally blingless (abalone logo and side markers, but that's it), but the wood is so beautiful, it doesn't need anything. It's engelmann/quilted sapele with BRW bindings and a red maple burl rosette. The client wanted red, so I also used red/bwb top purfling. I kind of hate to let this one go.

Nice one Jimmy. She's certainly pretty enough to need no bling. |

Beautiful guitar Jimmy and I wouldn't want to let it go either. It also looks very light - do you know what it weighs? Superb guitar Jimmy!!!  |

Very pretty guitar Jimmy. Nicely done. I agree, the back and side set are plenty blingy, but not over-the-top so. I'd love to see a close-up of the rosette and bridge area.
Can you describe the sound to us? How do you feel about it? |

Jimmy, I remain a fan of your work. You never disappoint. I second the request for a close-up of the rosette, AND the head. So, more pics mate. Steve |

Beautiful! The B&S set is so WOW that any added bling would have been over the top. Nice restraint, and a very classy guitar! Dennis |

Wow, that is what we brits call 'Understated', which is a very good thing, in case that wasn't clear! The combination looks particularly good with that shape too - excellent choices there. |

Jimmy, like Steve said, you never dissapoint, and you certainly don't with this guitar. Your craftsmanship is a given, but that is so elegant. Does it have one of your zero frets? Colin |

Here are a couple of more pics of the rosette and peghead. Colin, no zero-fret on this one, I only put zero-frets on Kasha-Klein guitars. This is basically a Martin style 00. Thanks for the kind words.
