West coast model..brw and euro spruce and shellfish
The top is from Italy. The veneers in the rosette are Honduras rosewood.
 This may be a better shot. I wish I could tell you what the bridge pins are made from. Phil sent them.  Or maybe this one  Rosewood resawed from construction beams. Imagine finding an old rosewood beam.    I have developed a new appreciation for unmarked ebony finger boards. They seem so elegant and business like. like a serious musical instrument. It's just a phase   More Honduras rosewood burl. Matches the rosette.  And the obligatory butt shot  Thanks for looking! I should have sent this to Woody to have pictures taken on his lovely table with flowers

That's a great looking guitar John! I really like the book matched rosewood burl faceplate, the burst neck, and that bridge is looking sharp, a smart design.

Thank you brother. Obviously I am still trying to master the camera. I never capture the image I'm seeing.

Love the shading on the neck John. It really compliments the back which is AWESOME BTW. Novel idea but I just don't understand why they don't frame more houses with BRW?

What a find it must be to discover floor or ceiling beams made of brw. Such a windfall, and there is that good feeling of reusing "scrap" materials. Plus the age and seasoning of Beam Wood must be worth something.

 In this particular case, if you had sent it to me, I likely would have sent you the pictures with a check...and poor Phil would have not been a happy camper lolThis truly is a stunning instrument. I don't recall seeing pictures of this one before now, so what a lovely surprise. I can almost hear this one playing in my head. I've had the pleasure now to hear several of your guitars up close and personal, and I can imagine this one will be a tone monster as well. Congratulations to Phil for choosing a GREAT guitar builder and being rewarded with this amazing instrument. May your musical days be many! And...BTW John, your photography is coming along nicely

I appreciate the kind words of course. You and Phil both kickstarted a rethink about rosettes to my complete advantage and I thank you for that as well.

Holy crap. That's a fantastical instrument. :O
And yes, unmarked fretboards are the way to go. Except on harp guitars, where the harp strings are in the way of the side dots and you get lost. Don't ask me how I know.

Thanks Frog
You make a good point about the position markers. Conjured up comic images it did.
