This is an all Mahogany (Sapele) dreadnought with a 16" lower bout and a Martin scale length. The binding is Maple, the bridge and fretboard are Indian Rosewood, and so is the peg head veneer. Abalone diamond fret markers (my first time inlaying something other than a circle) and a three ring BWB rosette. My customer was thrilled and literally told me that there was nothing about the guitar that he didn't love.

Let me know what you think, thanks everyone.

You should had put your rosette darker, it's killed by the sapele's reflection.

I kind of like the rosette
Very subtle.

Nice job!! I really like the understated elegance of the all mahogany body and "minimalist" appointments; and I REALLY like the rosette which to me looks translucent allowing the figure of the mahogany continue uninterrupted.
Keep up the good work!
regards
pvg
