Steve that is quite something. In particular the rosette is very attractive and quite different to the tradition.

I notice that you do a bit of intonation with a slanting saddle. Is that a carefully calculated amount or just a guestimate?

Hey Steve...youre getting pretty good at this. You should start a guitar making school mate

Thanks.
Its a guesstimate, but then a check and amendment if required.

Mahahaha.
Running the school has made me a far better guitar maker then i would be without it.

It looks fantastic Steve. Lovely combinations for a really elegant overall result. The rosewood is especially tasty.

Excellent craftsmanship and a beautiful looking guitar. The satin finish lets the timber grain to be seen as great feature.
