Various favorite hole-making tools in evidence. My favorite is my Grandfather's punch tool. The tapered reamer I use all the time. Oh, the bridge for the guitar, all hand-fashioned from Indian Rosewood is there, too.
Lovely curly maple center lamination bordered by ebony pins. I love the tuners, chrome with brass gear makes a nice contrast.
TPM: Thank you for your kind words. I loved making this one. It all went pretty much according to plan. This one goes to its owner in a few weeks. Which will be happy and sad for me in equal measures. On to the next thing, eh?
So beautiful, as always. I can't wait to see what songs come from this instrument, and the most FUN thing will be to have this beautiful guitar made by my oldest best friend.
