Well my Hesh inspired flamed Redwood/Cocobolo OOO has just been pore filled and is looking pretty good. This is a commission from a collegue for a surprise 20th wedding anniversary present for his wife. I hope is has good tone. It has a lot of Irvins principles!!! Personally I am loving the flamed redwood top!!!!
Thanks for looking.

Another stunning geetar from the coco king. That's gorgeous, Doc!!! So, Andy, is the paw print port going to be standard fare on all your guitars? I love it.

Yep.
I have a Mac ebony guitar also just pore filled. Same soundport.
My 1st. LOO will also have one. I really like soundports and why not make it
fit the theme of my brand.

Hi Andy,

It looks great...I see you went ahead with the redwood top, any troubles with fractures or splitting?

Greg

Beautiful guitar. That redwood is gorgeous, and the cocobolo back also. The colors are great together, and choosing a dark binding works really well. Overall a Stunner

Very nice Andy. I'm anxious to hear how that top sounds as I've got one in my rack just waiting for someone to want to comission a build with it.

The top is 0.113 based on deflection testing

Very pretty guitar Andy. I hope you post closeups when you get it back. I would love to see the binding and rosette with more detail.

Sorry I didn't answer your question. I use a fairly deep body on my OOO/
OM's 4.5 at the tail and 4 and the neck

I can see from the pictures that you completely ignored the di-cross tripole reflection moment we all spent so much time talking about. I recommend adding a bridge doctor.

But seriously, nice looking guitar there. I bet it'll sound great.
