Beautiful backstrap and the laminated neck is very pretty! Nice flamed maple.

I think Peter generally goes with Macassar Ebony for his backstraps, but he continued the Rosewood theme on my guitar going with an Indian Rosewood piece... I like it!

You're right, he's done Macassar Ebony on many. I had him put Madagascar Rosewood on mine to match the back+sides.

I like yours a lot!

Default New Neck-attached shots

The neck has finally reached it's final resting place on the guitar... I'm happy with the way it turned out. I decided against staining it and I like the contrast that the neck has against the dark body!

All it needs now is some strings and then it sings!
