I'm sorry John, I just can't tell everyone how gorgeous that is until you post some close-ups of it, front, back, and inlay details. Then I'll tell everyone how gorgeous I think it is....

John, that is just a magnificent guitar and the second worst photograph I've ever seen.

How about some close-ups?

   I didn't take the photo but I will take some better ones. I just strung it up. I was started memorial day week and I have to get if finished for the UMGF show Monday.
This has inlays on the inside as well. It is Brazilian Rosewood with Adi top and bracing. I will ad some pic very soon. The Vine of life took a year or work as that was started last year. I didn't do all of it.
   I also inlaid the pins but I plan on getting something else there. Maybe Ruby   LOL. The thing is really great and if you get here I will let ya play it to . And Don Cone here and you take the pix.

If you can see the back strip I bordered it with reop perfling. The side braces also have the vine inlay.

John,

You inlayed the side braces? That sounds as outrageous as some of Chris Jenkin's work! To wit:




Can you give us some interior shots?

P.S.-- It's really pretty!

Steve

It's beautiful John! I had to put my sunglasses on to view that baby. How long did it take? With all the inlay, It would take me years to complete something this nice. How does it sound?

I'm speechless, John!!!...truly a work of art. This guitar will surely be the talk of the UMGF get together. I'll be watching for the reviews over at that forum. Congratulations of a fantastic job well done.
