Looks really nice Andy. I love the silking in the top and bet it is even prettier in person.

Thanks for the kind words
I will have to take some more picts.
It sound fine except the B string. I have another thread on this.
It seems to have a slightly muted and buzz on the B string even though the
action is correct and the nut slot seems to be the correct depth.
It is driving me mad.

Andy

The finish is urethane (Tony F did it for me)

Andy,
I'm looking at the photo of your guitar and it is capoed at the first fret. This is a good way to test the buzz problem with the b string. With the capo on at the first fret do you still have the buzz / muting ? If not it is most likely due to a problem with the nut slot. If you still have the buzz, you can probably rule out the nut. Look to the string or the saddle / bridge. Very nice guitar by the way. And I agree, post more photos.Brazilwood38599.5289814815
