This beauty is done! Finished, shined up, and ready to be shipped out.







The Claro Walnut really flames up nicely under finish!





The head stock has a nice bit of flame as well.

What a lovely guitar in every way. The woods go together just right visually, and I'm sure it sounds amazing too!

I love the way the heel of the neck is flush with the cutaway. That just looks so much more elegant than the usual Spanish style heel on a cutaway. Not sure why that design is so accepted by the guitar playing community when this design is infinitely classier. I assume its a lot more work but well worth it I think.

The binding is Brazilian Ebony - we thought it looked fantastic with this set of walnut, very warm and soft (makes me think of chocolate!).

I especially like the custom buttons. When you guys use Gotoh 510s and put wood buttons on, can you still revert to the metal buttons easily?

Yes, they are easy to change back. Let me know if you need some gold or chrome buttons, because I have a drawer full of them!
