Jamie was interested in Purple Heart markers on the fretboard. Purple Heart won't stand out very well against the ebony fretboard so I wrapped them in Silver to make the markers really pop.
THEN. Jamie has been really supportive of my designs. To complete the theme of silver with Purple Heart I added a little accent to the top of the pegged. The veneer is Bog Oak and is like black quartered oak with the typical grain patterns. ![]() ![]()

My heart goes aflutter whenever I see a tiny guitar with a cutaway. My favorite kind of guitar. This one looks amazing!

Not every decorative attempt is a success. More than once I’ve trashed a rosette or an inlay of some kind because I didn’t like it, but it’s hard not to take a chance on new ideas. This is another one of those times. I think the silver was too much on the peghead, it just stood out too blatantly so I took it out and replaced that inlay with a solid piece of curly Purple Heart.
In my minds eye the silver pulled things together but the reality was it pulled too hard. So….. the new headstock ![]() ![]()

Dang! Beautiful! Captivating texture, and the contrast between the B&S and the neck is attractive and striking.

That came out just great. I really like the woods, but also the fade you did on the neck, that is perfect.

That turned out might fine, John. I really love that subtle burst on the neck, and of course the back and sides are gorgeous, too! Well done, sir!
