Not a uke - but beautiful!

I know this isn't technically a LUTHIER post/question, or even about UKES, but... I had to ooh & ahh at this beautiful guitar & note some of its beautiful appointments. I have seen some of the ideas used here on ukes, but the whole package makes me wish I was independently wealthy, just to own this guitar!

The details of the woods are:

Sinker Redwood Top
Italian Olivewood Back and Sides
5-Piece Mahogany/Maple/Olivewood Laminate Neck
Side Leaf-Shaped, Purpleheart Bound Soundport
African Olivewood Fingerboard
African Olivewood Bridge
Bloodwood and African Olivewood Rosette
Purpleheart/Maple Purfling
Purpleheart Body, Neck, and Headstock Bindings
African Olivewood Headstock Veneer

Just a gorgeous package. The bound leaf-shape soundport looks like one of Chuck's creations.

If I broke some board rule by posting this here, MODS can move it for me.

Beautiful fret board and markers and I love the leaf shaped bound side sound port. The rosette looks awkward to my eye though and I'm not a fan of purple heart. It's a striking guitar though. Well done.
