I just finished what might be my favorite combination - cedar and walnut.
She features a small radiused arm rest, walnut and oak neck, three ring rosette, 24.9 scale, oval sound-port, Gotoh Tuners.

That's lovely, Steve! I really like the look of the wood inlay in the headstock. How does she sound?

Very nice. I built a walnut and cedar small jumbo earlier this year. Not nearly as nice as yours. The top looks light in color for cedar, is it western red or some other cedar?

I think cedar and walnut makes for an almost unbeatable combination, and yours is particularly beautiful.
Great design choices all around! I especially like your bridge design. That's very elegant. Congratulations on a nice instrument.

Gorgeous looking guitar Steve. The details are great and the walnut is as nice as anything I've seen. I did a mahogany/cedar 000 this summer with a similar armrest. My first 000 but definitely not the last. The shape and sound is very pleasing. Well done.

Another beauty, I have a folder specifically with just images of your guitars. Your aesthetics make them seem more organic, I can't explain it well but love the look.

For your top purfling do you just have a single white line on the outside of the purfling and a single black line inside?

Matt,
That is so nice of you to say. Thanks you!

Yes - the walnut radial purfling is surrounded by thin (0.010") maple (almost never white) and black.

I liked it, but much more important, my client liked it. This is what he saide, "In due time I will give you a proper testimonial ............ But for now all I can say is that yes it has exceeded my expectations. I had them set fairly high and sure did exceed them. Looks alone are incredible. I can't imagine ever having or wanting a guitar with bling. Wood is too beautiful! Sound wise it is incredible especially for such a young guitar. The playability is also great even...."
