This is #6, and was commissioned by my brother. I believe the back and sides came from The Zootman in last year's swap meet. Some other specs:

sapele neck
flamed maple binding
ebony fingerboard, bridge pins & endpin
cocobolo rosette and headplate
Madagascar rosewood bridge
bone nut & saddle
two-way adjustable truss rod
two carbon fiber reinforcement bars in neck
Gotoh 510 faux-ivory vintage tuners
sitka spruce bracing
maple bridge plate
abalone fingerboard dots
mother-of-pearl headstock inlay
25.4" scale
2 11/16" nut width
14 frets clear of body
dovetail neck joint
Ameritage humidified hardshell case

Here's a link to the album so far. I'll be adding some more detail shots tomorrow.

Here's a brief soundclip of my friend and mentor James Condino noodling around in DADGAD ala Michael Hedges.
