I'm not usually a fan of non-natural colored perf lines, but i really like the headstock. the blue lines are subtle and really complement the inlay.

Great looking guitar Peter, I really like the arm bevel, you blended it nicely into dark bindings.

Thanks guys! I am extremely happy with the way it turned out. It sounds pretty nice with very good response.
Its my first with a parabolic lattice bracing.

It looks great, Peter. Lots of interesting stuff going on under the hood, too... so the grain of the bridge plate is paralell to the top grain, yes? Is that part of the parabolic lattice bracing thing, or just how you normally do things? The lattice sure looks sturdy, is the top really thin, or is the lattice not as tall as it looks?

Stunning guitar [clap] [clap]
3 holes in the x-brace - is that a design feature or does it really make a difference to the tone??
The whole thing looks beautiful whatever

Arnt, the bridge grain runs parallel to the top as in all my guitars. The top is not thin at all as it is a double top. The lattice is totally spherical- meaning, high in the center and fading down towards the edges in a domed fashion.
