That is a stunning instrument Peter! Great work... it's really a dazzler... the figure on the Koa is outstanding and I really like your choice of binding/purfling. Nice rosette and I'm curious about the characters inlaid on the fretboard... could you explain? |

Beautiful guitar Peter!! Awesome!!! ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") ![[clap]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations") I love the look of curly koa! Where did you get that koa from? It's particularly nice stuff! Spill...... Is that Kevin's FlexiAb purfling around the edges, or done "the long way"? Cheers, Dave F. |

Agreed ! It's a beautiful guitar Peter.I wonder what the koa soundboard sounds like compared to a spruce top?? How does she sound? edit: I see you haven't strung it up yet.Well, lets us know later how she sounds Peter.

Thanks Peter, the characters are my customer's family names and the 25th is to commemorate their 25th anniversary. |
