Wow, the materials are really well chosen, Andy!
I like how the purfling and the bridge carries that rich cocoa vibe around to the top of the guitar. Even the burst on the neck fits perfectly into the great design you have going here... Nicely done!!!

I'll bet there's a Mal. Ebony end graft...

Again, the bar has been raised high!  Beautiful instrument, Andy.  I really like the shape of the bridge and then noticed the 'mirrored' look.  It really sets the guitar apart from the crowd.  With craftmanship and care like you have shown, your customer will be set for life.

Thanks for all the nice work. I tried to have the headstock/fretboard/bridge all work together.

I posted a prototype of this bridge a year ago and most of you liked it, so I went with it.

That is one gorgeous guitar Andy. The finish on the neck is very attractive. And the purfling is incredible. I'm new at this so help this newbie understand, how did you do that purfling?

Very simple
Bought it...bent it...glued it.
A lot of the beautiful purflings are premade ready to be bent. Many of our sponsors have them. This one I think came from the zootman or LMI
I bend them dry with my bindings all at the same time.
Bend them dry so you don't ruin the purflings. I tape them all together to prevent them from twisting while bending. Trust me on this one!!!! I have ruined plenty of purflings by having them twist. Someone here suggested taping them together and I haven't ruined any since.

I see an alien bug that has pinning appendages coming from behind its head which has two large eyes and a mosquito like proboscis.

I think I need counseling.
