You haven't made a guitar I haven't liked, very 'New Zealand' looking if there is such a thing.

Sizzling and twice as tasty Christian
Great work as always and executed to perfection.
Is this going to a customer or just for stock and to try out the new Bacon back & sides ?

Wow Christian, great guitar as always. Must say the "baconesque" stripy Rimu looks absolutely delicious.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys!!
@Steve a SLR camera is the way to go to take really nice photos.
Just a simple black back ground, long exposure a little tinkering in photoshop.
@Nick this guitar is going to be a touring sample in the US. Fingers crossed people like it.
@Miguel I use a Eco wax over Mirotone sealer

Looking forward to seeing your creations with the Bacon Rimu!!

Cheers,

Christian.
