This is looking great! I can't wait to see that Koa under finish - it already looks alive in its unfinished state!

Better image of the tone-enhancing pickguard:
The pickguard is inlaid into the top, which is the thinnest guitar top I've ever encountered. Those Larson boys were unique and talented.

Yeah, I’ve always loved that cloud pickguard. So unique and cool. I may just do it. I wonder if Tony will inlay it into the top!?

Justonwo will you be having the steel rod running from neck block to tail block that the Larson brothers sometimes used? (Substituted for carbon fiber I suppose)

Negative. I believe that was the Prairie State guitars for the most part. I don’t like the look and I’ve heard they aren’t the best tonally. This will be like the 20s Larsons except no 1 7/8” nut.

How about this to go with the style 8 theme?

A vine growing up into a cloud? Juston and the beanstalk?

It's one of my favorites of the Larson Brothers inlays.
