Congratulations on a wonderful looking guitar! I love the woods you used on this one. A beauty in every respect. The rosette and burl purfling came out great.

Best,

Thanks for all your kind comments....this was a fun guitar to build, the aroma of the Cedar always made it pleasant to work on. I've decided that on my "ported" guitars I'm going to continue to add inlays on the neck and tail blocks as a surprise for the owner when he/she looks inside. I've done it on the last two and I'm pleased with the results.

Dave, I got the coco buttons from John Watkins of CNC Guitar Parts at our Michigan Luthier's get together back in Sept. of '08. I don't know if he is still making them.
