Wow! What a back! Is it really that dark and rather brown than red? Or is this the light?

If you bug Leo again, he's further along on this one. I was at his shop yesterday and the back is braced, the top has a bit more bracing, and the rosette is in place. It's not his standard segmented rosette, but he wanted to try something new.
He'll have that and an Sitka/EIR OM on display in Santa Barbara. I'm hoping to play them both finished before then as I've played a number of his guitars and enjoy time with him talking about tone, woods, and more. (I've spent many hours in his shop over a few visits at this point)

Here are a few more photos of Diamondave's build. The blue-green accent woods are dyed maple.
Leo's making me a guitar too, and has been sending me sample photos to help us narrow down some design choices. I'll begin a build thread for my guitar in a few months as we get closer to start time. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy watching Diamondave's beauty take shape with great interest.
