Some of you all seen this in the "white" in A2 about a month ago. Here she is all ready to finish up!

This is my OM Fingerstylist model. (almost ready for strings)

Here is the super silky Addy top!

Image

Master grade Forest Grown Indian rosewood back and sides

Image

End Graft Details, B/w/b with Brazilian Rosewood bindings.
Image

Satin neck, the neck is not glued on yet, just posing for a pic :)

Image

Brazilian Rosewood headstock over lay with MOP Logo
Image

Satin back to the headstock with Gotoh 510 tuners.
Image

Two more shots of the top, the rosette and the silky Addy :).

Image

Image

The top came from Uncle Bob! The back and sides are another dip in to Brocks stash :twisted:

Thanks for looking!

No the kitty was done by Paul Bordeaux. His name was George, he was a victim of the melamine pet food poisoning two years back :(
