Here is my first post-Somogyi guitar, it's an Australian Blackwood/Lutz Spruce 000 with Bloodwood and Ebony details...the box sounds really good, I can't wait to hear this one!

greg,
beautiful, as is all of your work.
any chance of seeing your post-somogyi bracing? i'm curious to know how lean the bracing gets after advice from a master.

Greg, man that bloodwood really sets off the blackwood, particularly with the ebony strip. That is a beautiful box.

Thanks again gents.

Todd, I'm glad you like the sound-port, I was a bit hesitant about the whole idea for a while, then it just seemed that the positives outweighed the potential negatives so I tried to make it a "minimalists approach" while still creating something elegant and stylish.... not sure I'm exactly where I want to be but it seems to work.

Greg, it's been said but I will repeat..AWESOME!! That is some fine lookin' guitar. My first, awaiting bindings, is the same combo, but the top is from a different tree (I guess the back and sides are as well

). I just love how alive the box is anytime sound gets near it!

Mighty fine Greg! I've always liked the "warm all over" look of medium to dark wood used in combinations like that.
