Whoa, that IS a thing of beauty. I like how the Coco bevel compliments the burst. Or is it the other way around, the burst color compliments the Coco?
Whatever, it all works. Steve |

So here is the neck with the final coat of lacquer sprayed on it. After it cures it will have to be leveled and polished of course.
I’m thinking that the near black/deep brown finish will match the theme of the body pretty well.

That's beautiful. Love the look of this instrument, very inviting. Seems like the kind of guitar that makes you want to play and play and play.

In my experience, I've owned and played a lot of really nice guitars from a host of manufacturers. Over the past 5-10 years I have A/B'd many many guitars and have found the probability of finding a great guitar is greater with boutique builders. Make no mistake, I've owned a few Collings, Martin, and Bourgeois that were really satisfying in every way. Bottom line, I think you owe it to yourself to find out what is best for YOU. Go to BIG as Neomann suggested, take your best guitar with you and play it beside the builders you'll find there...they are some of the best in the business and all are well regarded here on AGF. One of two things will happen, you'll either be supremely satisfied with your guitar, or you may find something you like better. But by being there you'll get to hear the difference with your own ears and playing style.

I so look forward to hearing about how this beauty sounds. Cedar and African Blackwood can be such a rich tonal combo.
Best, Jayne |

Man, I love the inside contours. Something you can really cozy op to but still has the goods to belt it out as well.
Nice build! Very nice!

Thanks for the kind words Lizzard. I've never held a guitar with THREE bevels but certainly two make a guitar feel like a cozy blanket. That said, I'm really not convinced that the third will make that much difference in feel as I see it being just a cosmetic touch. But, who knows!!
