That is going to look fabulous my friend! Another winner to come out of the Heshtone shop... Have you strung her up yet?

By the way, I like your new avatar! Alain Desforges38878.4669444444

What a great-looking TOP you have there Hesh. The remaining parts are sufficient enough to say the least...
I just received some BRW headplates from Colonial. They are top notch!RichB38878.5576736111

Hesh, it all looks like it will be a great looking guitar.
Just curious: what makes a 12 fret HAVE to have a slotted headstock? I've done several and only one slotted headstock. Don't let tradition dictate how you build.

Elegant already, will you use the Brazilian on the headstock as well? Also is that Mahogany that rope grain stuff?

Hey Hesh,
Have you ruled out herringbone purfling / rosette?
I love that combo with mahog, and even though there's a jillion little pieces in the h'bone, it ends up looking rather understated when installed.
