Wow! Amazing set of ABW (must say I am partial to the look of the sapwood - though sounds like you have something up your sleeve for the backstrip). And, like you, that is one of my favourite Kostal rosettes - perhaps even my favourite!
I'm fortunate to have a played a number of Jason's guitars (and to own two) - and really enjoyed Mr Watts' MDW: a truly fabulous sounding instrument. This one looks like it's going to be awesome...!

Well they do say that playing music is good for your health and longevity. So with those guitars you should be around for a long, long long time

I know many of you will jones on me for eliminating the sapwood but Jason and I have agreed to do something special with the back. An initial backstrip in Cocobolo to match our binding. Man, this is going to punch against the dark ABW. Here Jason shows his layout for the art deco blocks and the gorgeous piece of dyed burl they will be cut from. Wowsa! This dye work is nothing short of spectacular! Until the next photos!
