I like the rosette design and timber used. Another great guitar!
Over the last few months I have purchased a couple of Blackwood Back & sides sets from Curly Pete and they look amazing. Looking forward to building some guitars with these sets.

Re: New GST rules
Has any one made a purchase since July overseas eg Stewmac, LMI or though Ebay for an order say less than $1000 yet? If so were there any issues / delays in receiving the goods? How does it work when paying the GST and Couriers?

About 10 years ago the bridge was shifting slight forward. I arranged for Jeff Malia to fix it up. I had new bridge installed a...

Re: 14 frets dread in Acacia/Abete della val di Fiemme
Like the timber back and sides. The rosette with the fish and the fish inlay on the fingerboard is interesting.
Great result!
