That does have a certain Kinnairdishness about it, doesn't it? Nice Brazilian too...

You should hear this. I will have it at the UMGF Naz fest aug 6th. This is built based on pre martin specs. BRW back and sides with a bear claw adi top and bracing . The top is .100 and the back bracing is the vintage brook stick lower back braces.
   Not a bad one for sure . The headstock inlay is done Ala Dave Nichols. This is the type martin uses.

Is that "pearlzilla" ? If so, even the side reinforcements are inlaid with pearl. John also inlaid his fireplace mantle. Musta had some extra pearl laying around....

Not pearlzilla This is pearlzilla . This is a D45 custom design based on pre way martin spec with BRW and Adi top and braces with 5/16 X bracing and more pearl than the abalone could want to produce

Congrats John on an awesome piece. Not sure where you find the time to do all that you do. You must have 28 hours in your day.
