By the way it looks, it seems it was worth the wait.

sure is no denying the attractiveness of that fretboard!

Is that body shape your own or a variation of something? looks wider in the lower bout than a les paul and the curves flow very nicely. I ask because I am intrigued :D

After working with the esteemed David Myka I wanted to make myself a single-cut design. It's loosely based on his 13" Dragonfly model, but with a much thinner waist, a thinner upper bout, and the two bouts pushed away from each other. The ideas I kept from the dragonfly are the general shape of the horn and the way the upper bout hits the neck at an obtuse angle instead of 90 or less. I really liked this feature.

I think the less than 90 angle really helps to pull it all together. I personally just like how it flows a lot better, in my opinion, than any other single cut design. well done!

I have some Macassar Ebony fretboards that look very similar to that gorgeous B&W Ebony.
