Very nice looking OM Rob. The wood combination is classic and really works well. What did you use for the bindings - they really set it off nicely? Is it koa, or mahogany, or something more indigenous to the Scotland? It sounds grand too!
cheers

Thanks Kim & Mark, the bindings are a lighter coloured rosewood, the binding on the bass side of the heel was darker and blended in to the back of the guitar, it looked a bit strange but i quite liked it, thanks for your comments guys...

Cheers Dave, this is my build number 3 too, i do like the classic look but i also admire some of the craftmanship and innovative ideas some luthiers put into there guitars nowadays, but most important for me is 1= Tone...2= playability...3= construction...4=aesthetics... now all i have to do is learn this,lol...
