Polish
Michael's done some really great work with the final polish on the guitar.
Here's a shot of the PRW grain. Really happy with how this has come out. PRW is not a jaw-drop wood like macassar ebony or quilted sapele, but I love the sound of rosewood guitars, and this one is mighty pretty. The gloss on the headstock came out well: And the back of the headstock is mirror finished. Probably going to go with EVO gold fret wire: And...neck is on! One of the awesome things about a custom build is you can get to the level of personalization on little things, such as my preference for a satin neck. Despite the incredible show room gloss, Michael finished the neck to my preference, visible in this shot here, and the finish transitions came across very nicely.

I hadn't realised how well the leaves in the headstock inlay go with that beautiful PRW. What a tasteful guitar!

I remember back in 2017 looking at that set f D. Tucarensis when selecting a set for my eventual Koa 00-12. I asked Michael if he had any sets that he always wanted to use based on his perceived potential and he offered up your set. I am certain that you will adore the result transformed into your guitar. Regarding fret wire. There is no real decision. Go with the Jescar EVO wire...

EVO Gold it was, 104 x 47 as I have a preference for slightly taller frets.
Here she is, with Schertler tuning machines, and strung up. Resized_20191127_095238.jpg
