Hi, Thought I'd better post some pics. I've been lurking around for a while now but finally got something to show. Thanks for your help!

Very nice Dave. The details really set it off - like the mitred purfling at the end graft.
Can I ask where you got the plans? Is it based on a J-45?
The headstock looks really striking - nice bookmatch! And the tuners look really smick. I am guessing cocobolo or snakewood or something, on 510s?
Impressed

A very impressive result. I particularly like the "rosette". I haven't seen one like that before.

How do you like the sound?
