I hate to admit that I had initial reservations about the use of green, but you have given the look distinction and class and I personally LOVE it! Each and every design element seems to compliment this others. I really like the rosette also. Again, applause all around for your great work, and congrats to the new owner!! (wish it was me )
Thanks mucho old buddy.

Take this guitar and put it on a stand in a well lit room. Then grab a chair and just observe it like you would a painting in the Louvre, and realize that that is what the owner will feel everytime they lay eyes on it for all the years that they own it.

What a stunning guitar, John!!!

I've been wanting to have green accents on my next custom guitar--you've just convinced me that it really can work well.

Great stuff!

My Brother GAVE me this green wood. He said that it grew in Sumatra on special green wood plantations. He really needs to keep his stories straight. Probably never crossed his mind that we would discuss this.

Green works well with black for sure and might look great with other woods.
