Cool guitar Ken,
I love how you integrated the heelcap, cutaway, binding & backstrip.

Dennis, since I have a double X on the back it keys in pretty easily. Check the archives. I think there was a good discussion about keying the plates to a form. I think maybe it was Brock who had some kind of pins on the form and holes in the ends of the back to key it in. I can't seem to find post.

Beautiful work & design!!

Is this guitar already sold?

If so the owner must be looking at it as much as playing it!!!!! [:Y:]

I have some Tiger Myrtle-it's a bit dense(heavy) how was your set?

Nice work of art-!!!

Mike, a funny thing happened right after I posted this guitar. Someone who had played it before called me up and bought it.

My set of tiger myrtle was rather light like mahogany.
