Here's a few more shots of this particular guitar.
First up, let me apologize for the lousy photography.
As you know, it's quite difficult to photograph a dark, shiny object. And I was hurrying to get these taken.
So....
Ok, #1--An overall view of the front:
#2--A closer view of the rosette:
#3--A shot of the heel cap, back inlay (paua) and some of the neck:
#4--The heel itself (bad shot, sorry!)
Finally, #5--The peghead-- bookmatched Blackwood, w/ black pearl in the sap area, and gold pearl in the black zones:
If you look closely, you can see the purfling on the body is Purpleheart and Holly. (Purple is the customer's favorite color. I thought one line wouldn't be too much.
)
Oh yes, the binding, heel cap, rosette and neck lam are Koa. The bridge is African Blackwood. It is a superior material for bridges!
Thanks for looking!

I really like the shape - what body style is that again,.. is it original? Very nice attention to detail as well - and a beautiful scheme of color, the different woods in play!
