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?

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

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.
