Default 2019 Dion show guitars

I’m taking a brief break from commissions to build my 2019 show guitars. I promised myself I wouldn’t be finishing at the final hour this year.

First up is a pretty straight forward guitar, Indian Rosewood and Italian spruce. Still scheming on the second one. Thanks in advance for following along.

A simple, on brand rosette, in a beautiful piece of Italian spruce.

I’ve decided to try a something different on the inside pad that supports the soundhole. A little cleanup to do still, but what do you think?

While the glue dries on the closed up box I thought I’d get started on the neck. I’ll be using a beautiful piece of Honduran mahogany.
