You might have to build a matching bouzouki now and pair the two together. That's just so cool!

I'll try and get a few more photos up later.

Very nice
Why not splash a little alcohol on that end graft when you take the shots so we can get a feeling for how it will look under finish.

Gorgeous! Do you have a similar inlay on the peghead?
It'd look ever cooler framed with mitred purflings.
Really sweet concept beautifully executed!Daniel M38758.5324189815

Great work Bill,

Well Done

Bill- please tell us that this only your fourth guitar done one-handed-your 200th with both hands and no blindfold! I'm still making so many mistakes that I am humbled to an extent I never thought possible. On the other hand,your gift, supplemented, I'm sure, by painstaking hard work and attention to detail is inspiring.

Very cool idea, Bill. Looks great, and I love the woods. The combination of curly walnut and curly koa is one of my favorites. Would love to see more pics.
