Always a pleasure too see your creations. Love that tiger myrtle. Nothing like the myrtle we have here which is pretty too but that tiger, man
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I do like working with Tiger Myrtle and trying to find ways to feature it by keeping the trim complimentary can be challenging.
 
Now that's some pretty wood. I like how you used it on the back of the headstock too....nice detail!
