Here's the 42 "in the white", I altered the style a little bit by adding side purfling and a double-boxed end wedge. It's going to be finished with nitrocellulose lacquer:

Great work. The pearl fretboard extension purfling is quite a bit harder than it looks, and on this guitar it is perfectly aligned to the neck and the rosette, with clean miters. Some very famous builders miss getting that right sometimes.

For once I am happier not to be VERY famous.

The mix of colors is awesome, Laurent. Always brining something fresh to the table.

As always, a harmonious, elegant design grounded in your take on tradition...

I will be curious to play it should it make it from SBAIC to Woodstock. The Torrefied Sugar Maple is beautiful under oil varnish.
