Default New Keystone Mod DC ABW/Moonspruce

Hey everyone,

I've been eagerly awaiting my new build with the amazingly talented Keisuke of Keystone Guitars. He's working on a new custom Mod DC with ABW back and sides with a Moonspruce top. I took alot of advice and inspiration from Pandaroo's previous build. I thought I'd share some progress photos here. It's due to be completed at the end of May. Join me along this journey if you're interested!

Firstly the headstock design:

Some in progress photos: (note the area where he's already worked on for the rib and arm bevel)

Beautiful build thus far--very clean work!

Love the rosette--I'm curious what material was used for it?
