Man, I like EVERYTHING about that one! Headstock, logo, woods, shape, fret markers... The backstrap is awesome too! Is that a Watkins neck or did you do that one from scratch? Nice!

Beautiful guitar. Congratulations. Really like the offsetting of fingerboard markers and the headstock inlay.

Really pretty, Peter. The Bloodwood works quite well with the Myrtle.
Is that Zebrawood on the rear of the peghead?
It's a nice touch.

Looks great Peter! I really like your peghead design, and I think the way you offset the fret markers looks pretty cool too!
