Nice one Derek, looks like tortoiseshell bindings? What wood is the neck? Looks figured (I'm assuming its not pawprints!) |

Clean, elegant, understated...with just the right amount sparkle in that rosette. I think it's quite beautiful. |

Nice clean looking guitar. How does that wood combo sound? |

Nice looker! How big is the sound hole? Your logo looks a little pixilated. Maybe use a higher resolution camera? |

Yeah, I like it! Unusual materials and a very imaginative aesthetic. Good job! |

I'll bet moving the bridge back a bit gives you a bigger sound than a 14 fret.Ive always liked 12 frets for this reason but a little short.13 sounds like a good compromise |

Thanks for the kind comments! This was had been lying around for a while needing re-topped. Unfortunately when routing off the bindings the router bit somehow slipped and I took more off at the neck block. This resulted in a slope from soundhole to neck, allowing me to make a sort of cantilevered neck! Which has come out well with a nice low action as a consequence: Attachment: 20141124_122100.jpg Neck is an old brazilian hog shelf which has some figure Attachment: 20141124_122100.jpg Bindings are rosewood. I am very pleased with the sound and will definitely use the wood combination again. Apologies for the poor pictures. Will also try to add a video at some point.
