Jumbo Finally Strung up - Number 4
Finally have my Number 4 Strung up (Number 3 almost there too). Was playing her this morning, and happy with the sound. A few tweaks to the Nut, and it will play nicely i think. Thanks to John for his mentorship!!!

Mad RW B&S, Bearclaw Sitka Top, Curly Koa bindings, Spalted Maple rosette, and maple/koa purflings Glenn

Really nice! The inlay of your initials is very well done.
Re: Jumbo Finally Strung up - Number 4
I agree with all the previous praise. Really nice!
