I was excited enough about building that first guitar to spend 2 years making it. Am I still that excited? This guitar has been in the making for about 6 months now. The next one may be a year Quote:

Your creative juices are flowing well Mark. Just magnificent. Love the end piece and headstock detail in particular.

Being a fan of Katalox wood, I'm looking forward to seeing your custom buttons on those beautiful antique gold 510s! I have a Martin with katalox fretboard & bridge. Looks great, feels great, & as hard as nails! A great substitute for endangered ebony, IMO.

Thanks for commenting ross748, I'm excited to see this under finish too! You can see how the fret board darkened up just by fine sanding. Mark

Hatcher Italian Olivewood and Italian Alpine Spruce
Since this is an olive bloom rosette, it would've been cool if the fretboard extension could've somehow looked like it was the branch that the blooms stem from. Maybe there's still time to incorporate an inlay in the fretboard to blend it aesthetically to the rosette and make it a seamless transition? Absolutely gorgeous craftsmanship nonetheless!

I'm always inspired by your work and appreciate your out of the box thinking. You've been incorporating some elements that I've been thinking about for sometime now so its nice to see them. Being a carver I've often thought of doing more elaborate headstocks that incorporate more dimension with the relief carving and embossed look. Great stuff all the way around!

If not for the fact that the guitar will undoubtedly sound spectacular, that beauty should be in a museum.
