Happy to have this wrapped up. This guitar is a graduation gift for our granddaughter. The headstocks inlay was done by a friend Karen Trickett featuring a ladybug which was our granddaughter’s first Halloween costume.
Overall pretty happy with the results however the finish provided some challenges that I will post about separately.
Cheers
Dean

Beautiful done Dean.
I too use the Kinkade OM plan for shape. Similar bracing too.
Your granddaughter will surely love it.
So whats next for you?

It's a beauty Dean. And I can vouch for the fact that it plays beautifully too - a great fingerstyle guitar. Bruce W.

Thank you both for the positive feedback.
To answer your question Kevin. I’m in the middle of a flame maple guitar of my own design influenced by a Martin J and a Dreadnought.
