Very nice. The b/s remind me of Eastern Black Walnut.

Nicely done, I really like the segmented rosette. The whole guitar looks very elegant to my tastes.

Thanks John. I like the way the colors work together on this one. The subtle differences of honey and cinnamon shades make an interesting look. I used 1/4" scalloped braces positioned about 1 1/8 inches from the soundhole. The openness and sustain of this guitar from day one was a little surprising.
