Elegant guitar. I love the lines, especially the headstock veneer and shape.

Thanks Pat! I've been slowly refining the design over the past few guitars and I'm very happy with the current result.

Beautiful work, Stephen! I look forward to seeing this in Santa Barbara.
And I really like the color you achieved on the neck--perfect match for that dark body.

The second and final sealer coat is dry. I'll give this a scuff(lightly sanded) and begin spraying the first day of top coats.
