I've had this one (#6) done for a couple of months but just got around to taking pics. Best sounding guitar I've built so far.

Panama rosewood back/sides
Carpathian spruce top
1/4" scalloped Adirondack spruce braces
Amazon rosewood fingerboard
Honduran? Rosewood bridge and rosette
Curly maple binding with Purpleheart purfling strip
Mahogany neck

Thank you. Finishing is one of the things I still struggle with but I'm getting better. Here is a pic of the end wedge. The Purpleheart is subtle, but looks nice up close I think.
