Peter Peter Peter.
That is very nice.
I like the headstock, the bridge, and the whole thing.
There is something about the shape of that cutaway that looks so cool to me.
Somehow it ties into the upper bout hitting the neck on the other side so perfectly!

The cutaway is so perfect.

Many Florentine cutaways just look kind of not quite right, but that one is right on the money.
