Getting there...
John has attached the neck and nearly has the instrument done in white. The MOP/Green Abalone split blocks & peghead inlays and the Birdseye Sugar Maple bindings create a classic, yet elegant aesthetic.
 Some details of the sound port and the bound peghead veneer.

Beautiful guitar! I really like the Birdseye Maple bindings. It's going to be stunning under finish!

It is always difficult to catch the color of a sunburst. John was kind enough to shoot a couple shots outdoors after the guitar was sealed, the sunburst and a few coats of nitro were applied.
 John told me it is actually a touch lighter and has gold/bronze hue to it.  It of course brings out a bit of the figure in the Sycamore Maple back and the Birdseye Sugar Maple.

. We’ll definitely see a bit more depth as the nitro layers build...

This illustrates how difficult it is to capture the tones of a sunburst. These are some earlier shots from John’s spray booth. The lighting is different from the prior shots and no nitro had been applied yet.

Bob, I would call that a "toasted almond" or "pecan" burst - but it is spectacular either way and is going to look great in your lineup!
