- The guitar will be bound in Sugar Maple instead of Ivoroid and have herringbone top purflings.
- It will a simple, thin back stripe to emphasize the bookmatched figure of the Cuban Mahogany.
- The Gaboon Ebony fretboard will have Paua Abalone diamonds and squares long pattern inlays. We will use Jescar EVO 43080 fret wire.
- A Brazilian Rosewood belly bridge (blanks he got from Thomas Humphrey years ago) and a Brazilian Rosewood head plate veneer.
- I opted for a Visesnut Active Series Flight Case - 000/OM, Gray.

I'm so pumped for this build! Love the choice of sugar maple binding and braz bridge and head plate. I can't wait to see the pictures of it.
I'm still getting over the Cuban 'Hog. The flame is so nice, there are times when I feel it looks like koa!
