More updates
Here's some new updates, Julian was doing some final detail voicing on the top and hopefully next update will be a close box, I can't wait!! Meanwhile, here's some more photos to enjoy!
While many people love amboya burl, I'm more attracted by Buckeye burl's amazing color pattern. Here's the final result of the 3D segemented rosette in buckeye burls, I can't be happier with the result - it's just so beautiful. I'm not sure if the photo shows it clear enough, but I particularly love the green outline around the buckeye segments, they are gorgeous up close. Here's the top and the back together

The box is finally closed and we were discussing which size of purfling to use. We come to an agreement that the middle size will be perfect, that said, I also love the smallest size, maybe save it for another project. Next thing - endgraft, can't wait to see Julian's design.

It's been awhile!
Finally, the guitar is finished and sent to finisher for a beautiful full body french polish. It was an excited journey to share new ideas with Julian and see the man build this masterpiece.
Julian and I spent quite some time on having a new headstock design and we couldn't be happier to see the end result, therefore this new feature will become optional for future Gaffney guitars! As well as different size purfling lines. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you guys for the kind word.
Yes indeed, I'm super pumped and can't wait to see her back from finish! The cutaway and neck joint decorations are indeed very classy! Julian's first attempt on his guitars and I have to say that's not bad AT ALL!
