Howard,

that's some lovely work- thanks for sharing.

Howard,

Lots of artsmanship on this guitar (that's a couple of notches past craftsmanship.)

The closeup at the soundhole reveals what appears to be a triple-bound fingerboard. Probably not really, but it will be stored in my memory banks in case I ever have a great fingerboard that's just too narrow for the project at hand. Is the Bloodwood stripe actually an inlay?

Dennis

Well, there's some pictures I'll be adding to my "Klepper" file.

Cheers.
