This one is currently hanging in the white room and I will be on it like white on rice this Saturday when I visit TF's

This is Brocks Sedona model, Addy top and Koa back and sides.











A full report is pending following a sound hole inspection

Man that is gorgeous! You think you could get a little more figure out of that set of Koa? That is one of nicest sets I've ever seen. The guitar is perfect too!

Brock, that really is worthy of the name "zoot".
That's as flashy as Uncle Bob in his full length mink.
And one can see why Koa raises the blood pressure.
Man, that's nice.

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, the figure really came alive in this guitar once the naptha hit it.

Most of the appointments on this guitar are BRW, but the fingerboard is Madrose. The rosette is burled maple with red abalone.

Brock, what is the purfling? Is it snakewood? The red abalone in the rosette looks so good with the burl.

The purflings are the mahog-o-lams that BobC sells. I would have made up a matching koa purf, but I didn't have a nicely flamed koa side.
