Whod'a thunk of putting Purpleheart on that Sapele? But doesn't it look great? Wow, that's delicious!

I'll say. It just kinda works. I think I'll probably 'do' ebony bindings on the first one I do, just to keep everything else as sober as possible.

Absolutely stunning!!!

And I agree about the purpleheart binding.

Interesting...a leather guitar. Wonder how it will sound?





Makes me wish I had bought a set...

Oh, it's fairly common in production guitars. But usually the wildest it seems to get is some ribbon figure. I don't know where BobC gets some of this stuff, but it's absolutely stunning.

This just makes me want to go pull one of the sets I got from BobC out of the woodpile.......
