Some photos of the design
and constuction process:
The inlay design was sketched
up and sent to the customer for approval. Some inlay materials
were chosen to keep an earthy, natural look.
Here is the rim assembled
in a guitar mould.
Basic X bracing inside the
top. The braces are sitka spruce with a cedar top.

The completed guitar "in
the white" before any finish has been applied.
A sunburst finish really
changes the character of the guitar. The final finish is gloss
lacquer.
