It's been strung up since March 2nd but just now getting around to taking pics (surgery and a minor monsoon season <smile>)

Kit from John Hall. Carpathian Spruce top, East Indian Rosewood back/sides, Honduran Hahogany Neck with flammed Maple stripe from Hannali-Moon, Ebony fretboard, Ebony Pyramid bridge, ivaroid binding and herringbone purfling, pickguard material from Mario Proulx, pua inlay, gold mother of pearl headstock inlay, KTM Spar Varnish finish, and Zpoxy fill.

Thanks to everyone here who I've learned so much from. And a special thanks to John Hall who I've called more than once for advice.

OK Darryl, tell us the truth. Where did you REALLY get that guitar from? :) He said green with envy.

Like I said on the other forum, I hope my first build comes even a little close to that! Very nice!
