This one was my first commissioned guitar. I finished it a few weeks ago, I just haven’t gotten around to taking some decent pictures until now.

This one has a Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, desert ironwood binding, rosette, fingerboard, peghead veneer, bridge, and tail wedge. Mahogany neck. Gold Evo fretwire. Gold tuners. Ebony bridge pins. Abalone purfling on the top and around the rosette. Fleur de lis soundport.

It’s an OM shape, but with 12 frets to the body instead of 14. Which I guess makes it a OOO?

It's my best sounding 6 string so far.

Thanks for looking,

Nice looking guitar Phillip. I'm sure the owner will be very happy.

What's the finish?

WOW! [:Y:] bliss [clap] Looks like a beauty. Very cleanly done and nicely proportioned. I like the thick looking grain on that IRW, and your neck joint looks flawless. That fleur d'elis knocks it out of the park. I went to the Healdsburg a couple of years ago and had Dorian Michael play my first 100% handmade guitar. He said it sounded good and to bring him another one after I'd built ten. I'm up to seven. Looks like you're there. Congrats.

Dare I ask how much you charged for it?

Very tasty, indeed. And the fluer de lis is a real gutsy move in my opinion. Fragile looking, but elegantly beautiful. Nicely done all around.
