I finished this OM about 6 months ago and am finally getting around to posting a few pictures. This one was for me and my youngest son so I wanted to keep it relatively simple.
Here are some of the specs: EI Rosewood back and sides, Sitka Spruce top, Cocobolo headplate/fingerboard/bridge/heelcap, maple binding, cherry end graft, Honduran Mohagany neck, Custom Pau Abalone "JB" logo from Depaule Supply. Below are some of the pictures. There also is a link to a video of a friend of mine who recorded a few of his original songs with it.

Nice looking guitar!

Guitar looks great - what did you finish it with?

Looks nice, I could hear a clear sustain in highs and lows. The song was cool too.
