Looks great!
There are some very crispy color contrasts in this guitar.

So, how was it?

Great help thanks Markus . Wayne

Well, I actually wanted to know how it was to work with the blackwood. If my "advice" was great help it seems that it was a nightmare to plane, sand and bend it.

It wasn't too bad at all to work with Markus, it bent pretty easy, even the cutaway. I followed John and Jeffs advice when i bent it and it was fine. It glued up ok and was easy to do all the other stuff, so workability was good. Wayne

Looks great, many nice little features. Nice work.
