Honduran rosewood 000 with 3 bevels
I finished this spec guitar early this spring and sold it at the Swannanoa Gathering before I had a chance to take pictures of it. The new owner did take pics and just mailed them to me last night, so I thought I would share this build.
The top is bear claw European spruce, bindings, bevels and purifying are cocobolo.            [url=https://johnkinnaird.smugmug.com/Honduran-000-with-3-bevels/i-Dxr8Xrf/A]  [/url The fret markers are bone that show on the face and on the edge of the fingerboard

That looks amazing, John! Really a beautiful combination of woods...
Don't know that I've ever seen a bevel for the leg before--looks very comfy. Thanks for sharing it!

Ah ha!! NOW I KNOW where my bearclaw euro went
 The story must have gone something like this...I tell John I want a guitar with some really sweet Euro with bearclaw. John finds said wood and puts it away for me. John then later decides to build a spec guitar. Upon searching his stack of exotic woods, he spies a very cool piece of Euro spruce and says to himself... "That will make a splendid guitar!!" And it did!! Nuff said lol Nice guitar John!! I can almost see a hologram of my face in that top wood ha!

Another Big Boss Axe
John's 12 frets are magic boxes...
This is a real beauty! I have similar fret markers on my recent JK and I LOVE the high visibility. I am confused enough as it is... haha Congratulations to the owner! If he is not STOKED I will be amazed. Cheers Paul

I have several sets. One set is particularly interesting because it's Very well quartered. I found the wood in an old wood store in no-where Texas. one of those planks that got misplaced, covered in dust, standing in a corner amongst the mesquite planks. It's been cut for some time and I feel sure it has an interesting history but that's as long gone as the store.

Those markers are easy to see aren't they. I bought a bunch of bone saddles that were too small and didn't send them back so now they are showing up in various places from time to time
