Nothing more elegant - or understated - than close, straight-grain tonewood: the classic guitar aesthetic.

Therefore: None of the above.

Just my opinion

Larry

I choose Shane's. Then BRW 11, then 10.

The understated elegance of #11 is very sweet .. but for one of a kind, figure is where its at .. the second last one has no match IMO - not even in my zoot locker !!!!

Have to agree totally, 11 has that wonderful trad look and will be stunning by the colour, but the second last is just spectacular... guess will look like this wonderful Patrick James Eggle which is from his website - hope he does not mind me sticking it up here!

I like 11 in the traditional sense, 10 is nice also, but if you're going for uniqueness, I'd say that last one is as unique as I've seen recently.
Thanks for sharing.

I had on that looked just like that Frank ... just finished it up for a clients 50th Bday - master englemann top, brw binding, armrest - it was REALLY nice, the client was blown away (his wife not so much with the price !!!)..... sorry no pro pix yet though.

First, Thanks for the Blue Paua strips Peter !! looks great.

I would for for Nr 10" as it looks elegant. Also the last one, it feels like you get drawn, suckt into the back of it . All looking extremely beautiful though !!

Lars

They are all very nice. However, I really like the second from the bottom. It's a real beauty with a nice figure.

Now as someone else mentioned, for a big bottom, that last one is also very nice!

Are you saying you dont provide two invoice copies, the real and the 'partner' version? Sloppy I think - This should be standard practice!

The last two really make my eyes pop! I'd use one of them.

hi Peter
remember, you did ask.
Wearing my players hat I have to admit I look at my instruments (when I’m around them and not playing then), there lines,symmetry, hues and the instruments musical potential all inspire me in my playing and writing, striving to do justice to the music and the instrument.
With this in mind no.10 visually has great depth and mystery in it.
Am I taking things to far?

Shane
I definitely see a Native American theme in that one.
yours Geordie

Brw 10 followed closely by set 11. I like 11 because it's old school but I love 10 for the dark color. All are pretty. It's good to be the king - nice stash!!
