Default Want Feedback: What do you think?

I finished this custom guitar this past summer. It is in use in Hungary now by a missionary. He said that he gets lots of comments from musicians about it. It has dual source LR Baggs pickups, but sounds great to my ears without amplification.

What do you think? Would you want one?

- Ziricote back, sides, peghead veneer, peghead back strap veneer, fretboard, rosette, and bridge - all resawn by me out of the same billets.
- Sitka spruce top.
- Honduran mahogany neck
- African padauk bindings with maple perflings.
- Maple highlight in the sound port opening with ziricote reinforcement pad.
- Maple W/B/W perflings on fretboard with paduak bindings
- Thin shellac high gloss finish (shellac finish inside guitar too for moisture stability)

I don't care for the sapwood on the back, but everything else looks very nice.

I like the wood binding and the trianglular end piece.

Very nice colors! Great job!
