Thanks Yall!!
I really like working with the spalted maple. I think it is so beautiful! The Dalmation wood is kinda rare...Ive seen it on pool cues before but that's about it. As you can see from the pics, it has an awesome dark amber-ish color. I am always drawn to those amber and earth tones. The Briar wood in the rosette is an awesome color too. It is a traditional wood root used in smoking pipes. I have really focused on tone over the years and I'm hoping to incorporate more artistic ideas onto the palette of what we call the guitar. Don't get me wrong, the guitar MUST sound great AND play great above all....all the rest is gravy. This little guy is in the range of $13,000.00 (Dec. 2023) I would like to mention that I have a cool prototype that I just finished of a multi-scale offset sound hole....Ill post pics soon! I really appreciate yall looking...

This is beautiful! I love your use of different woods some I hadn’t even hear of before. Thanks for making me look up Dalmation wood, I’ll be on the lookout for that in the future. The blending of woods in the rosette it very nice. Well done!

Beautiful! Gorgeous lines, and super inviting to play just looking at it.
  Since it's like a parlor size, I would call it: "Peanut", That's what the shape reminded me of, initially.  Or "Sweet Pea"! Just a lovely looking guitar. Congrats on such an inventive and original design in a conventional form, that doesn't look like it's from outer space, and with a soundhole in the right place!
