Ebony and Maple strip binding
Shell rosette

Cheers

Very nice Hank, gotta be happy with that.

Classic OM vibe going on there. I especially like the art deco profile on the headstock that also shows up in the bridge shape. Nice effect - but not over the top decoration.

That's nice, the engleman dose'nt look creamy like the ones I have in stock. It looks quite aged which I like.
Is it the finish used or just the lighting taken when photographed, interesting.

Thanks guys
Wayne, last build was Engelmann and it was creamy, used mirotone NC, this time i gave the box a couple of coats of shellac to warm it up,
The sycamore didn't t colour as much as i'd hoped, ah next time
