Wow, how'd I miss this one?
It's a stunner, and no doubt will please the customer completely. Great aesthetics - the colors work incredibly well together.
Interesting figure in the back...it almnost looks like that rare cam clamp figure.

Thanks guys
I agree Billy that the br/koa combination is hard to beat.
Carlton you have discovered my darkest fears. Necks are my least favorite part of the entire building process. They are a pain (in the neck so to speak)

So Terrance, what do you want, mahogany? 00? I can get on it pretty quick.

Hey John,

If I didn't say it before, I'm really looking forward to seeing what this wonderful instrument looks like when it's all done. Can't wait to hear how she sounds too. I'm a fan!
