Tony sent these last week. He did a great job of getting just the "look" I wanted. I'm anxious to get it back. Hopefully it will sound as good as it looks.

Wow, that top looks like it is on fire!

So, what is the b/s wood, is it a 12 fret, your own shape? We nee to know more!

Oh, I like it a lot.

Looks great Jimmy, is that a set of the flamed mahogany that Bobc had up on his site some time back?? Anyhow, she looks beautiful.

Cheers

This is the little 13 fret I had posted a few pics of a couple of weeks ago. The fiddleback mahogany came from Don Williams and the top is Adirondack from Allied. It's a 00 body, but it's deeper than normal ~4.5" at the tail. I love 13 fret guitars and this one's a 24.9" scale, so it should be lots of fun to play.

It will have a pyramid bridge with gold Waverlies with ebony buttons. It has a little bling (abalone rosette, top trim and a partial vine inlay on the fretboard). It's for Healdsburg, so maybe it'll get noticed. At least, that's what I'm hoping for.

That looks amazing!

I have to know one thing though because it's killing me thinking about it....

That glistening star on the neck was done in photoshop or some photo editing software right??

Right?

Its the WHITE room. I love shots from the white room. That guitar looks great Jimmy. Very pretty purfling combo and the back burst is incredable.
