This one was actually delivered a while back, but I finally got my hands on it long enough to take a few pictures. Sounds very nice; responsive to a light touch, but lots of meat when diggin' in.

Top - Red Spruce (From Bob @ RC Tonewoods)
Back/Sides/Rosette - East Indian Rosewood (From Bob @ RC Tonewoods)
Bindings - Figured Maple (From Bob @ RC Tonewoods)
Neck - Lightly Figured Hon. Mahogany (Local hardwoods store)
Bridge/Fretboard/Headplate - Ebony (LMI)

Nice joints on the binding at the tail block! Did you scarf them?

Thanks for the complements! Terence, the bindings meet with a tight butt joint, glued with Titebond. Titebond seems to make maple joints less noticeable than other glues I've tried.
