That is one gorgeous guitar, Fred!  And what a fabulous back set! And headstock! And backstrap! I think the black nut and sadle tie in very nicely with the coco too. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

Well fred, that's the craftmanship I am aiming for; just outstanding.  ![[clap]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations") The back and sides are "bjoetiful". Who is the lucky player/owner ? |

The guitar is going to J.B. Davies who is one of the founders of the Michigan Fingerstyle Society. I wish I could keep it for myself but he will make it sound much better than I ever would so it will have a better home. I wish I had bought a couple of the back sets from the Zootman though I know where one set is (PaulK) and will make him an offer. I have become a great fan of Cocobolo and the sets from that particular billet were all beautiful. Fred |

When the Zootman posted pictures of that set on this Forum about a year ago, I knew I had to get it and build something with it. I wish I had bought a couple sets from that billet. Check in this topic http://luthiersforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=375056#p375056 for the post Bob made of this set. Fred |
