This one is a beauty and I am very happy with the results, both visually and tonally.
The bracing was somewhat of a hybrid fan brace design and I'm very pleased with the results.

Peter - When you have such a long arm bevel, does the backing wood throw off the weight of the instrument? Do you do anything to balance it back out? Mike |

I'm wordless. Just amazing! Is it redwood or cedar? Anyways, the top looks just perfect with the quilted back. Perfect match. Congrat's! Francis |

What they all said, Peter. It's a magnificent instrument. If the new owner finds any fault with this, I will personally.......well....let's don't go there. All I can say are these two things: First, If I were the new owner of this instrument, I would be so ecstatic as to be beyond words. Second, after looking at these pictures, I can't decide whether to be totally inspired to press on, or whether to be totally depressed by my own mediocre results and quit altogether! You have built a FABULOUS instrument! My hat is off to you! |

That is incredible. What veneer did you use on the back of the headstock? Can you give us a sound bite? Beth |

Thanks Beth! The veneer is Macassar Ebony. I'll have a soundclip as soon as my customer gets around to it....maybe some video too.
