I find a lot of Indian Rosewood sort of boring, but this set is I think is gorgeous as well.

I'd be curious to know more about James' wood stash. He's been building for nearly 50 years. He used to have a shop with employees in Hawaii that put out higher volume. Then he moved back to Cali and only works with his son Luke, building about 100 guitars per year. The guitars I've seen from this more recent period have taken it to a new level.
