This is a relatively quickly built guitar that I made for a niece. Standard x brace, no pruflings a small bit of bling.

Top is Lutz Spruce, has a bit of run-out thus slightly two toned.
A nice Cocobolo back and side set. The wood was dense so I braced it as a non-active back.
The binding are maple, the rosette, end wedge and heel cap is spalted maple.
The head stock veneer is Amboyna burl
My logo is MOP and ebony

Here is a video of me trying to play it

Sweet! I like that. Nice touches with the spalted maple and headplate burl.
Got me a set of Coco somewhere, nothing spectacular but straight grained, quartersawn and dense IIRC.
Got to use that sometime.

Lovely, 12 fret, pyramid bridges just look "right" on these. Very understated elegance, lucky niece

Very cool with nice details and sounds good too. Your niece is lucky indeed.

John! You know you are doing that blues box a disservice playing that on it. Kidding my friend. Great video. Great playing. Great to see you playing 'er.

Looks great, other than the untidy bridge pin height. ( Hey, I know you're not just fishing for compliments).

Beautiful job on the volute. How did you thin the headstock and cut is? Really need to take a shot at one. They are pretty.

Cheers!
