Peter - That is one STUNNING instrument!  I can only imagine but I'm sure it sounds as great as it looks.

Lovely

Did you make the eagle inlay in the headstock or did you buy it from someone. I love eagle inlays and can never find them pre-cut. Have had a couple custom made but still looking for a source. Love yours on the head stock

Peter --

Beautiful guitar! It might just be the pic, but it looks like the neck has a different finish than the body.

Wow, Peter!  Incredible instrument.  Words can't do it justice.  You never cease to amaze me!

Andy DePaule has some eagle inlays on his site pre-cut. If you're looking for a different design, I can quote on it and provide any number you need over time.

Very nice! I want to hear about the sound on that puppy. I've got some nice bricks of curly RW and sapwoody walnut sitting around here that might be similarly destined if the sound is right...

Wow! Beautiful guitar Peter as always!

It may hearten you to konw that I bought a curly redwood top zet from filipo at the last swap-meet. When it arrived I wiped with with naptha and posted pictures on another forum. One of the responses was (I paraphrase slightly) 'Wow that CRW is beautiful, and I mean Cornerstone beautiful!'

So there you have it, your CRW guitars are consistantly so outstanding you've officially become an internet superlative, and with this guitar you've even managed to use some of the most beautiful curly walnut I think I've ever seen!
