Beautiful guitar Michael [clap] [clap] One of the first burst finishes
I've liked on a steel string. Just fits right in with the rest of the
color scheme.

This doesn't look like a lefty from the strings, yet looking at this picture, it sure looks like the saddle is slanted the opposite direction (as if it were for a lefty guitar).

Do tell...

Very nice Michael, the finish looks liquid and the sound port very generous.

Cheers

If Joe White did the finish then it's not Cat Urethane...it's the more durable Catalyzed Polyester finish

I'm guessing that the color is off in the full front photo and it isn't that yellow. It looks like a nice shade from the side shots.
Looks good other then it's a bit too bright for my taste if that yellow is that bright.

First I wanted to say I took the photos before I started intonating the guitar and realized I had goofed oops_sign Simple fix I had two choices, one-replace the bridge or two-plug and reslot. I pluged and reslotted. I was courious if anyone would notice :D

No that is the natural graining in the mahogany.

Yep the front phots color is weird for some reason. The top is 3 shade honey burst for 2 1/2" and the rest is all clear coat addi here is shot of the body that shows the color better that Joe white sent me before shipping

Now that's much better to my liking.
I have a Madagascar RW fret board on my build. Do you finish the board with anything like fretboard oil or epoxy seal/ fill ? Any treatment of the board?

I apply 2 light sessions of boiled linseed oil a week apart and allow to evaperate before installing and fretting. After that I on add more if I have to repair a tool mark or something like that after fretting.
