By the way it looks, it seems it was worth the wait.
I'm going to half to find some.

sure is no denying the attractiveness of that fretboard!

Is that body shape your own or a variation of something? looks wider in the lower bout than a les paul and the curves flow very nicely. I ask because I am intrigued :D

After working with the esteemed David Myka I wanted to make myself a single-cut design. It's loosely based on his 13" Dragonfly model, but with a much thinner waist, a thinner upper bout, and the two bouts pushed away from each other. The ideas I kept from the dragonfly are the general shape of the horn and the way the upper bout hits the neck at an obtuse angle instead of 90 or less. I really liked this feature.

I think the less than 90 angle really helps to pull it all together. I personally just like how it flows a lot better, in my opinion, than any other single cut design. well done!

I have some Macassar Ebony fretboards that look very similar to that gorgeous B&W Ebony.
