Hesh,

It is a bloodwood/ebony laminated bridge.

Prettiest I`ve ever seen.You`ve really got to be proud of that one.I was wondering if you pore filled the neck before using tru-oil,And how many coats of oil? I want to try it on my current build.I hate the feel of nitro on a neck.

How does she sound? I have a few of those sinker tops. Do you recomend
doing a double top with them? Lovely looking guitar you should be stoked.

[QUOTE=ParamesB] Really gorgeous, Peter. Is that pinless brige Doolin-style? If so, where do you get the hardware?[/QUOTE]

yes, that is correct... all you need is spacers and a metal rod.

Now, that's what I'm talkin' about! Originality, excellent color combinations and top-drawer craftsmanship. It looks like it can make music without human intervention! Could you tell us a bit about its new owner? Did you send it with smelling salts to revive him or her?

I am extremely humbled by so many kind comments and words of encouragement. Of course when we all build a guitar we always aim for the best and looks like on this one the wood combination seem to have been a great match.

Thanks again for such remarks.

Like everybody else is saying WOW! That is outrageously beautiful! I want to know what a Doolin bridge is. I guess I'll do a search on it. I'm not a fan of pin bridges, and have been trying to figure something out. Alan.

It came out great. The combination of all the elements, especially the bloodwood really makes for a bold stylistic statement.

Congratulations!!

Elegant, classy, top-notch wood, immaculate workmanship...love it! Every time I see these sinker tops, I'm tempted to buy a few. First gotta let the Tax Man take his share, though, see what's left after that...

Magnificant. Simply magnificant. I'd be hard pressed to think of anything that could be done to make that guitar nicer.

That is truly "art".

Man, I don't know whether to work harder or quit.    That is an amazing guitar. Peter, I think you've reached the pinnacle.
