Amazon Rosewood back and sides...sitka top, mahogany neck , cocobola fretboard and bridge, bloodwood bindings..Em6000 lacquer abalone shell purfling and rosette..light forward shifted bracing sounds great, and loud so... far  picture quality not the best , but the lacquer buffed out nicely |

Looks very nice! Congrats. How about a closeup of the headstock? Can't see that inlay too well. Aaron |

Really nice work! Excellent job on the finish! And a close up of the headstock would be nice like Aaron said. |

Very Nice . You should be proud. And I really like the choice of woods. Great set of Rosewood, and the bloodwood sets off the rosewood nicely. |

Sweet! ![[clap]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations") I like the color contrast between the f.b. and the peghead veneer. What is that peghead veneer, anyway? |

Sweet! How is Amazon rosewood different from Brazilian Rosewood? |

I have never worked with brazialian rosewood , its a delbergia spruceana , I got this set off of ebay over a year ago, it was a little difficult to work with, at least to me, harder to bend than EIW rosewood and this set seemed kinda brittle, looks very nice and has a nice ring to it.. |
