And now for something a little more simple

Simple? Yeah, simply beautiful! The headstock and rosette are stunning without looking out of place, Sam. A really nice looking guitar!

A well-executed modern classic.
Agreed with Alex, the headstock and rosette are amazing!

Very nice! You've finally found a style of arm bevel that I can tolerate :lol: The progressive deepening and "hook" at the end helps differentiate it as a separate visual element, so the soundboard itself still looks symmetrical, just with something layered over it. And the smooth transition at the upper end keeps it from looking like a "function over form" bite taken out of the soundboard, like bevels that have the hook at both ends.

Mind if I steal it? beehive

What style of bracing did you use? Looks like a good time to go asymmetrical, since you already have some restriction of the active area by the bevel. Maybe a diagonal harmonic bar, but angled the opposite way from normal? So the bass side is tightened and treble side is looser. Doesn't have quite the intuitive elegance of loose bass/tight treble, but should net you the same result of reduced cross dipole phase cancelling.

Great use of natural wood grain on the headplate too.

@dennis, I won't mind but my lawyer might laughing6-hehe
I don't believe in a bass side/treble side but it may offer some asymmetry to the dipole.

Good job, Sam. Beautiful, and functional. How's it sound?

I don't believe in bass and treble sides either.

I love the unique peghead design you use.

I want to add a big +1 to everything already said! In particular, I think your arm rest bevel is a visually gorgeous design. I have always seen the practicality of these bevels, but never liked the way any of them looked. To my eye, your version is perfect.

Excellent all around!

That's the goods! Let's see, a sound port, arm bevel, and bolt-on neck on a classical. You may need a nurse in your shop to do CPR on any traditionalists that wander in.

I absolutely love the arm bevel ... very striking, and deeply satisfying aesthetically.
