Hi Wayne,
Thanks for that, I should take some better pictures, these are all a bit out of focus.
I've been using an iPhone which takes great photos in strong light, but these we're taken just on sunset. So I'll re-do them tomorrow.
Cheers

Chuckie

I could only dream of making an instrument that nice, it looks awesome. That bridge design is really clever, I remember it from your Albizia guitar, which is one of my favourite guitars ever posted on the forum.
