structural considerations. Reinforcing the joint in the heel block

Love the cutaway, flows perfectly!
It's just a shame the B/W Ebony doesn't stay white when finished. That would look spectacular.

Just hijacking this thread for a moment to say (again!) that I am ecstatic about my John Kinnaird 000 in Cedar/Pau Santo. Every day I ask myself: are ALL John's guitars this awesome, or did I just get REALLY lucky? If your Hawaiian customer needs a testimonial, John, I'm your guy. I am sure this ebony guitar will be dynamite.

I see your point though under finish its comes out black and gold which looks nice.

Feel free to hijack my thread with those kind of comments any time Jamie. I am pleased your 000 is still making you happy.

Default picking the green
James wants green lines on this guitar.
considering the general color scheme I have three possibilities for your consideration

malichite recon stone, which has a lot of blue overtones


or perhaps a wood veneer in light green


or perhaps a darker green

+1

The blue is a little too solid looking, and the darker green is just a little Meh...

Oh boy...everyone's going to have an opinion, and I don't know that you'll get a great consensus, but I like the darker green. It's got enough character to show, not too much that it steals the show.

I agree...I love the contrast between black and white....jeff

I personally think it looks fantastic as it is after the finishing. If a little extra $$$ came my way, I would commission a custom guitar and would specify black and white ebony for the stunning aesthetics.

Another vote for the darker green--I would even go darker towards a forest green if that was an option. Enough to contrast with the binding but dark enough to bring out a richer tone.

I like the the light/bright green veneer. It will look great with the ebony.
The Hawaiian Islands are a work of Art so this guitar will fit right in.

COOL guitar!! Can't wait to see how it progresses

Here's the order if it were mine:

1) malichite recon stone---very cool, unique, and I LOVE the blue hue of the stone
2) lighter green
3) darker green

I agree with everyone and yet the stone is unique and personally I really like blue with what will be a more "yellow" tone wood. The lighter green has some more distinct "pop" factor, and yes the darker green does have more of the understated which definitely also has appeal.

So the boss has spoken
Light green it shall be.
I appreciate everyone chiming in with their opinions.
