Default New custom Build

For my 50th in a few weeks, I commissioned a new acoustic late last year from a local builder here in Ireland. I picked it up a few weeks ago and Im blown away by everything about it. Ive attached a few selected photos of the build process

Very cool, different color palette for sure. Yes, what are the woods and I think you should tell us the builder too!
