Sweet, Lars!
I like that sunburst, and I'm usually not big on them.
I think because there is a small area where it isn't.
I also like your peghead.
Very nice looking, and the strings go straight from the nut.
Nice job.
How does it sound?

cocobolo looks nice. Sunburst transition looks nice.

I have been considering that style of peghead for my next ukulele and I only steal ideas from the best. Consider your peghead design stolen.

Very Nice Lars! That sunburst looks good with the coco. I like the long headstock and chunky neck. Well Done! [:Y:]

Awesome colors, I love the back of the neck with the shading also.

Thank you all. She sound awesome, best so far ! . Its a Cedar top on this one.
About the chunky neck, in reality its a really thin neck but I guess the photos can lie at times.
Guitar came out great but there are some minor stuff I am not happy with like I mfor some reason used super glue ( stressed) instead of laquer to fill a sink !! gaah so it still shows a little if I look close, also I am not 100 on the buffing out ( using a festool orbital sander 150 RO ) small scratches here and there, not sure how to get it perfect. guess I need to get me a good buffing wheel. the scale lenghts on this one is 25.7 and it feels real nice to play. so over all I am happy with it. Used it in a studio today and it sounds awesome.
headplate is BZ-rosewood as is the Bridge. cedar top and Coco B/S. Larrivee type of Bracing pattern this time.

One of the most creative rosettes pictured here.
Could you give a close up of that rosette?

Good stuff,

Steve

You are the man! - Looks nice, well balanced, nice shape and burst for some reason I like - not normally a big fan.
I may also steal the peghead shape! -Mine have been a bit "functional" so far.
Soundclip would be appreciated - ?

Excellent, Lars! Love the vignette rather than a "bullseye" sunburst. Nice purf on the P/H too...

Post subject:  Re: finally done !!!!!! photos
That is really fine looking Lars!
Beautiful, rich colors, and I want to see the rosette also, love the "echos" below the ring!

Funny, after Haan's comment on the headstock purf I had to go back and look. When I saw it the first time I just thought the picture was pixellating (jagged diagonal edges you sometimes get in digital pics), now I see the checkered binding. :lol:

Way to go. [clap] [clap] [clap]

Lars, I always like the full-bodied shapes of your guitars. The fullness of this one is accentuated by the cutaway and your sunburst finish, and I think it's spectacular. You have a fine eye for design, and the craftsmanship to bring it to life. I always look forward to seeing your work!
Cheers!
