Default Wanted to share my latest Zion

I know its been a long time since I posted anything (sorry guys!) but I had som e issues and a few things to take care of so building had to be put aside temporarily while I resolved those issues. Things are back to normal (besides some wood stairs I'm doing at home) and soon I hope to be posting some build threads and well as finishing up number 50.

Specs:
Cornerstone Zion
Florentine Cutaway
Premium Curly African Rosewood with Hybrid Bracings
LS Redwood Top
Ryan Style Bevel
Multiscale Fretboard
All Macassar Accents
Paua Abalone Purflngs throughout
Custom Soundport

So pretty! The back figure is striking. And the black v. white tuner button idea is neat.

Any clips?

Gorgeous! What's the fan-fret scale difference? That back-strap is a wonderful touch - what wood is that?

Good to see you back, Peter! Lovely guitar.
Interesting tuner idea...I bet you have another set just like that, only mirror-image, right?

Steve

Applause! Brilliant work, as usual, Peter. Glad to hear you're back to smooth sailing.
I love your modern aesthetic, and this guitar is a stunning example.
I'm curious about those bridge pins. Any info to divulge?

They look like Ryan Titanium pins to me, but I'm sure Peter will enlighten us soon.

Thank you for the kind words. The backstrap is Macassar ebony. I can't remember the scale length but I'll look it up soon.

And yes guys, the pins are Ryan titanium.
