Speechless....you did your customer proud. And you made that set of wood look fantastic. It's cut from the same board as this guitar.
Fantastic workmanship, and tastefully done Peter.

Thanks guys!

This guitar was built as a dedication to a lost baby...Noah. It was a great honour to build it...

Here's one more picture:

Peter, would that be the middle knob?

This is really very nice Peter.
I'm also building an instrument with some Blackwood from Tim Spittle right now and it's really nice stuff.

Great looking guitar you have there! What was the build time on it? It has a lot of features that I'm sure took some extra time and effort.
Nice job!

Fantastic Peter!
Shiney! Great knobs too!
It looks like you have a slight taper in the sides at the upper bout from front to back. Maybe it's an optical illusion but I have wondered about building this into a guitar. I think it's a cool look!

Peter,


Fabulous guitar!   It looks to have Hebrew writing at the 12th fret.  Is that Hebrew for Noah?

That IS beautiful, Peter.
And I'm sure it was an honor to build it.

Another stunner Peter!

I really like the canted grain on the back of the headstock.
