I just got together photos and a video of the guitar I strung up this week.

Ziricote back and sides
Engelmann top
curly Koa binding and arm rest veneer
Figured Mahogany neck
Ziricote peghead overlay
Ebony fingerboard and bridge.

Very nice, Fred.....should be a very satisfied customer. I caught your soundbite of this one with the friend noodling on it. Sounds as sweet as it looks.

Beautiful combination of woods. Also thanks for all the photo documentation on the photobucket I got to after selecting the photo. I love to look at methods of work.
