I finished this one a while ago, just sitting here on the couch tired from a long day in the shop, figured I'd share a few pics.

What an incredible instrument! I especially like how the sapwood heel cap and the laminate neck look together, and the back of the headstock looks awesome. How's it sound?

Appreciate that, you know that sapwood stuff was a pain, but worth it I guess......I really liked how it sounded, it is now in the hands of an exceptional player, I had a chance to hear him and another new customer(amazing player too)play this guitar for 3 hours one Saturday and I was just floored at how they could make an instrument sing, that was a joyful day!!

Beautiful guitar Greg! The sapwood really looks good and blends in nicely and some serious silking on the top. Good job.
