Here she is all made up with her lipstick on getting those famous Kostal glamour shots. Kinda fun to see what's lurking just beyond the edge of the amazing pictures.

Thanks Jayne. I thinks the antique bronze fits really well with the Coco bindings.

OM GOSH, is that gorgeous Dennis. You should be grinning ear to ear. I think that is the most beautiful Kostal rosette that I have seen to date. Congrats Dennis and Jason on the completion of a great project.

My Lord - this is too much for my senses... Absolutely shocking!
The rosette almost looks like it generates its own light.
I may need to get Jason's phone number from one of you.....

I think Jason topped the rosette you wanted him to match, Dennis. I don't think he's done better. Heck, I don't think anyone has done better! Big congrats on one phenomenal guitar.
