Back to Ovangkul
here we're back to the Ovangkol Josie. The headstock back plate is more of the figured Macassar Ebony. Here you can also see the fret board being glued up:
Here under all those clamps is the Ovangkol head plate: Tomorrow the neck will be ready to carve! Thanks for following along, Mark

I strung up the Maple Josie today and did an initial set up. Here are a few more pictures with strings on and a few to show details. Pretty self explanatory. You can tell the client and I both like Cocobolo and Maple
Now, I get to play it for a week before final set up and shipment! Thanks for viewing, Mark

Thanks sakar12 and thanks for following along!
Hi Steve, Yes that is a satin finish on the neck. They seem to be getting more and more popular. Once someone tries one they usually prefer them. Quote:

I'm curious, has the strap button location ever caused an issue with players who use this portion of the neck? Kind of seems counter-intuitive to having a cutaway there.

A-MA-ZING level of detail, Mark!
To be honest, my preference always goes to a more simple pattern and details, but on this one you've gone really far.. Impressive and inspiring |

Ovangkul Josie snall jumbo
Here is a picture of the headstock coming together for the Ovangkol Josie small jumbo. I like how the antique gold Gotoh tuner go with the color of this wood!
I'll cleaning up this guitar adding the final touches so it will be ready for finish next week. Thanks for viewing! Mark
