Those chakta purflings are beautiful, they really add a classy look to the guitar.
I agree Bill, I think especially from a distance they tie things together nicely. My first Beneteau that I had to sell years ago had snakewood bindings with the Chakta purflings and it's a great look with a darker back/side choice like rosewood or ABW.

I did some research and didn't find much, I had just asked for a light reddish wood to accent the snakewood. Have seen Marc also use bloodwood and cocobolo but they are a bit less neutral than Chatka so im glad with his choice.

That is going to be an amazing guitar! Congrats Dustin. I know how it feels to be close to the finish line on such a highly anticipated custom build; my Kraut 00 should be done in a few weeks. I love Marc's guitars. His aesthetics have always been beautiful in an understated way, and the new rosette you two came up with is no exception. When I order my next Beneteau, I want that rosette!

Congrats again, and I can't wait to see and hear you play the finished guitar!

Man Dustin, that is one sweet looking guitar! I can almost hear the rumble from here. Some years ago I had a Nick Lucas from Marc (photo album) and for a small body it truly roared. Can't wait to hear yours!

Thank you man! I cant wait either...I have an idea how it will sound...but I have the feeling that expectations will be exceeded just like they were when the SJ arrived.

I will likely just keep lights with a 0.13 like I always have...my 25.75" scale SJ loves that setup even down to A. Maybe true-mediums if needed
