Wow! That is just beautiful. I like all the clever little touches with the inlay and the heel cap but I have to say that your finisher put a nice burst on the back and sides!
As for tone, I'd love to hear this combination. I love the tone of each tone wood but have never heard them together.

The guitar is back from my finisher, time to rock! I glued the bridge, it will be clamped for 24 hours. Tomorrow, the neck!

I completed her a couple of days ago, and brought her to my photograph for a studio-shooting.

Excellent Ben. You've certainly done justice to the Wenge and your finisher has done justice to all your hard work.

Aaaand here she is! I hope you will like these pictures as good as I love them!
I will welcome a great musician, friend of mine, at the shop to play it and make great videos. I am impatient to let you hear that! Photo credit: Nadia Zheng

Hey Steve! My finisher is a badass, definitely! These antique gold tuners are pretty cool, agreed!
TK: Yep, it looks like I found a great way to build a double X bracing top, I am satisfied with it. Thank you for the kind words! François is an awesome player, I am honored he took time for these videos, and to call him my friend
