I Love bubinga!
And the simplicity of your rosette, I think that simple rosettes are giving as much look as a very complex one, if you choose good color

Hi Fred,

That's going to be a great guitar! I can't wait to see what it looks like with finish.

Keep up the good work.

I closed the box today, and the wedge feels real good under my right arm. I will have the 000 12 fret ready to glue on the top tomorrow after I entertain the grand daughter at the Santa parade. Gluing up a wedge back in a gobar deck is quite interesting as you need to match the back angles with the top of the deck or have several different lengths of gobars. I go for the angled deck top, the guitar in the mold sits on the 28' radius dish in the gobar deck then the the back is clamped up with lots of gobars.
