I strung this one up about a week ago:

Lutz spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides (20 year old set) curly koa bindings and ebony board and bridge.
25.4" scale. Gotoh tuners k K and K pickup, dovetail neck joint, nitro finish, X braced.

It's starting to open up. I am pretty happy with it.

Homerun Brad! Did you have to split the herringbone to bend it?

Happy New Year!

No, I actually found it easy to bend the way it came.

Well done indeed, Brad. Great work, as always. I really like your headstock shape and since learning to do a backstrap is next on my to-do list, seeing how nice yours looks is added encouragement. Thanks for sharing.

It's a beauty, Brad. Clean all over. Especially fond of the backstrap and binding.
