After these mock-ups, Chris worked on this guitar pretty slowly due to the Somogyi Workload and Covid Breakout. But it was worth the waiting for sure~
He realized those elements as one fluid design. So here comes the completed woodworking on this guitar~ First, the Rose and Fretboard extension~ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then the Body ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are many details on the design elements if you go closer~ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

OK--the guitar is beautiful, the woodworking is impeccable, the craftsmanship is top shelf all the way. This young man is amazingly talented. But, I would never buy a guitar with a headstock that looked like that. Somehow, to my eye, it throws the guitar's symmetry out of whack. Maybe it's just a bit too far from tradition for my tastes.

Utterly impeccable. It's hard to overstate the mastery that has gone into this creation. It takes a special mind to conceive of such a thing, we are not worthy!

So many nuances, lines and crevices that are all masterfully executed and tie it all together so nicely. Some serious woodworking chops in full display.
Unbelievable! |
