Final pics Bob Singer’s 12 fret OM
I couldn’t find the build thread, which is OK. Here is the final product.
12 fret OM with black and white ebony back and sides, AND fingerboard. Bear claw Sitka top. Blackwood bridge, ebony binding and inlay by Larry Robinson. Here is the pick guard with a woman who looks are deco. The guard is not glued down yet. I feel a need to do a little shaping to the guard but the inlay is going to make that difficult. Always something.

Really great John. Is that a different arm bevel style for you? I like it!

The inlay on that pickguard is a perfect complement to your stunning rosette - really to the whole aesthetic of this guitar. Take care, John! If, however, you should happen to mess it up, I'll be happy to take it off your hands for you.

Tom, that arm bevel, first started by Grit Laskin, is what I started using years ago. I transitioned to the Ryan style bevel for some reason, but I think I'll go back to the Laskin style. It seems to explain the asymmetry that the bevel imparts to the top, plus, I like the little flippets at each end. I think they are a nice design element.

Yes, it is the flippets on the end that I am drawn to as well.

Now here's what I get for not hanging out enough in the Custom shop area much...this one almost slipped me by...shame on me lol.
What a beauty!! Congratulations Bob, and fantastic job John!!! How about that bevel!! That's very cool. Love the B/S Ebony, love the bearclaw, love the purfling scheme...In fact, every element of it is so masterfully done. Redundantly...Love it!!
