Yes very nice Ron .. however, did you notice that your upper fret position markers (past 12) are in the wrong place vs the typical placement .. oops .... |

I'm just saying it's a design feature. |

There sure is plenty to like about that. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") My fave choice on acoustics is the Venetian cutaway leave the Florentine for lecky guits and stunning claw as well.Steve |

Yes, Ron, all this praise seems mighty well deserved. Of all these pictures, I think the one that really speaks to me is the back view of the neck heel. I love the way you trimmed out the back, center strip choice, etc. But the whole thing is quite beautiful and I'm sure your customer is delighted. Regarding the position markers, I agree with you. Sure, you probably wish you hadn't done that, but now it's a design feature. When carving and planing the back of my arch top several years ago, I exposed a knot. Couldn't quite carve it all away, but I got close. Now I point it out to people and call it a feature of the guitar. It doesn't bother anyone--least of all me. Congratulations, Patrick |

Beautiful. I think backstraps, the 510's and bearclaw really dress up a guitar! Hope you'll post future ones too. Where are you in Canada? |

Really beautiful, Ron! That top is amazing and the black bindings look great on the rosewood. May I ask where you got that backstrip? |
