I Ok Texas Ebony voters, here you go:
I'll finish the purfling around it tomorrow. All in all I inlaid the rosette, got the center seam reinforcement on the back, thinned the sides to bending thickness.
We'll have more fun tomorrow, but in the meantime, do you - my surrogate bosses - think this should be a deep bodied OM or not? I'm leaning to the extra air volume and woomph of the deep body - especially for a EIR guitar, but I could be persuaded into the bark of a thinner body. Let me know.
Thanks for the help.
Jay, I figured you might like Texas Ebony vote. Hope your guitar is still performing well. I'm pretty sure Steve will demand the NSK inlay after he finds out I'm leaving decisions up to popular vote.
