Hey Brother!! It's good to be heard ! As for sound...EIR back and sides with a red spruce top. The owner has been offered more than he paid for it but he won't let it go....he seems to like it. It's punchy with good sustain and balance and a clear deep low end, I like it alot.

Very nice work, Brian!
But we need more details, e.g., what's the rosette?...that end wedge?...bindings?...etc.

Thanks again for the kudos..... the rosette is zebra wood rimmed with abalone, the end wedge is pommelle sapele, the binding (on the box) is curly maple, FB binding is ropey bubinga, all purflings are wood, top and bracewood are red spruce (from my good friend steve @ colonial as only the best will do), B/S--EIR, Tuners are Gotoh 503's (I like the 503 or 510 series), pickup is a B-Band XOM 4.2, finish is KTM-9 and the case is an Access stage 5 (not shown)...oh, and the heel cap is also ropey bubinga...I think that about covers it
