Beautiful. I hope that's going to spend some time on a stage because it's a knockout. I just made my first bridge last weekend. It looks an awful lot like yours - same arch in front and curves in back. Great now swiped my rosette and bridge from you.

Yaaa! Nnnice!
I like that 3d rendering stuff.
It must be great to check it out before cutting wood.
What program do you use Michael?
Or does John do all that?

O and the guitar is nice too.

Thanks,
Wade

I think John just about nailed it.
And it looks like you've nailed that guitar.
Really pretty Michael!
