When I run a build course I do a parallel build and this is the result. It's mildly figured koa with a matt cellulose finish and my signature 'Georgian Mahogany' stained neck and planetary tuners. Mother or pearl signature logo at top of headstock and Snowdon at nut.
Classic design with saw slot bridge and Corian saddle - Worth strings
Back view matching front with mild figure and grain. Neck colour pretty much matches real thing
Mother of Pearl Logos inlaid into Bolivian rosewood headplate - Corian nut
View showing mgurure/leadwood fingerboard and celluloid faux tortoiseshell binding, Mother of Pearl position markers face and side
Signature bookmatch and 'invisible' butt joint with mgurure end pin made especially for me by Gurian Instrument Parts
I will include shipping to UK residents add $50 for export. Caution - the last 2 shipments I have sent to the US have had problems at this end and in the US. Brexit has made everyone nervous, even Customs and Excise. I do everything I can including paperwork but carriers are not playing nice. Just a heads up - instruments eventually arrived safely but both took 21 days regardless of how much I chased or communicated with the carriers. Sorry, it's something I cannot control - no-one can.
