Beautiful backstrap and the laminated neck is very pretty! Nice flamed maple.

I think Peter generally goes with Macassar Ebony for his backstraps, but he continued the Rosewood theme on my guitar going with an Indian Rosewood piece... I like it!

You're right, he's done Macassar Ebony on many. I had him put Madagascar Rosewood on mine to match the back+sides.

I like yours a lot!

The neck has finally reached it's final resting place on the guitar... I'm happy with the way it turned out. I decided against staining it and I like the contrast that the neck has against the dark body!

Nice work Peter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the way the Cornerstone Pinned Bridge Looks!! I had never seen Peter's pinned bridge until the Cedar/Olivewood Zion ( The road trip guitar)... When I saw those pictures posted I was sure my SJ should have the same look. I am more than please with the beauty of the guitar Peter has created... Now I just can't wait to Play It!!

Travis - that guitar looks WAY flashy to me. Beautiful woods, just tasteful and understatedly elegant. Kudos to Peter for making your dream a reality! Let us know when she arrives.
