Beautiful rosette! How in the world do you do such perfect inlay on a spruce top with such tiny pieces? Some of those stems are too thin to be inlayed by my clumsy fingers.

What John says ... I wouldn't dare sink inlay that fine in a spruce top ... much respect Mark!

Let's not call it an increase rather it's an upgrade for a possibly better sounding but, more comfortable guitar! It just may be more to go backwards in the evolution of this model's design

Moving on. Some of you may have noticed in this picture that the top is set for a cutaway and the back doesn't have the cutaway; So you may have guessed I am going with a scoop type cutaway on the guitar. That means I've got some additional work to support that type of cutaway; Hold it! This is usually where people make fun of me for using Staples paperclips to glue up my kerfing. I've finally found something better; These clamps are strong and perfectly fit the triangle kerfing that I prefer and always use. Additionally, they have a cork inside face that doesn't mark up the Spanish Cedar that I always use for kerfing. OK, back to that scoop cutaway;

Slick clamps! And that guitar is a beauty.

I'm sorry, but I have to pull you up on this image!
I have to ask, how can someone who has such an attention to detail, and if I'm not mistaken has a real OCD towards getting everything perfect, utilise upper and lower case letters when writing??!!

Thanks ukejon!
Thanks! Quote:
Not sure what that means. Maybe I wasn't taught well as a child. Maybe I'm just such a creative wild child that I simply don't care about arbitrary rules of propriety

The back is on;
The top is voiced. Time to close up the box;

Wow, this is shaping up to be yet another masterpiece....that olive wood is stunning and the top is beautiful, not only the inlay, but the beautiful tight straight grain...

Looks like it belongs in a museum, but I'm sure once it's played it will belong in someone's hands. Gorgeous.
