Hi Travis ... thanks for the kind words! I use poplar for the solid linings ... bends well and looks nice (especially if you find some of the whiter stuff).

Hi Ozzy ... I agree ... there's something about a technique that is simple but effective!

Lovely work, presented beautifully as usual - always a treat when a David Wren thread appears in Custom Shop!

Lots of reflections in the back ... the horizontal ones are a brick wall opposite where the guitar is hung. Not the best photo, but gives a bit of an idea of the depth of colour.

Hi folks ... I'll try and post a shot or two every day for the next few days. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint), the guitar's left handed, so I won't have my usual audio/video thang at the end. It sure is nice working with fun wood like this ... really happy with the sound too!
