This is a really nice guitar. The finish looks just perfect!
Some really unique stuff going on with that guitar. A nice departure from the "norm".
The cutaway flows into the neck heel really nicely.. Well done!

Cheers,
Chad

Nice guitar, Mike. I think that bubinga is underrated as a tonewood. I've only made one with it but it had a lot of punch. I wish there were more players interested in bubinga.

Nice guitar overall. I think when you make a guitar with more than the normal set of woods you have to use lots to make it work. You certainly have.

Nice work on the top braces. I can see why you have good volume.

Thanks, Ken. I'm a fan of the bubinga as well. I'll definitely use it again.

Thanks for the great bracing advice a while back too. Very helpful.
