This one is a custom built left hand instrument for a birthday present from her family. She got to pick the timbers, and sit back and wait for photo updates of the progress.

Body in Milo. Soundboard is 3000 year old Spruce. Bindings are Australian Blackwood. Fret board is Ringed Gidgee. Inlay is spalted Australian Silver Ash. Body is finished in satin gloss and the sound board is high gloss to show off the timber.

Holy cow, that's nice! I love the fretboard, and that wood on the back is simply gorgeous! WTG!
