I especially like the fingerboard. That falling snow is amazing! How many different pieces of pearl is that? Bill, you were totally right about the rosette, this one is much better for this guitar.

So, what's next? Spring or summer?

Bill, upon reflection, i came to the conclusion that this guitar can't be your 3rd, no way on earth this can be! are you keeping these master pieces for yourself, selling them or giving them away as gifts? if no 3, i live in Gatinaeu P. Quebec, Canada, will PM you the details for shipping!

Very, VERY nice!

I particularly like the way the inlay sweeps off the fretboard and onto the top.

Great work!

Ohmygosh!
If that baby sounds & feels half as great as it looks it is a total winner! It's rare to see craftsmanship & art blended so beautifully.

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement.
I am extremely happy with the tone of the guitar. It has a nice full bass, which I think the smaller round soundport accentuates, and also a nice sparkle to the highs. I really couldn't be more pleased with the sound.
