Looks wonderful. That binding will really pop under some finish. Rippled Mahogany?
Really, really like the backstrap!
What sort of timescale now?
Alasdair.

Yes it's rippled mahogany - I saw it on a guitar on his F.B. page which I "think" might have been yours (with the blue purfling)? Thought "I'll have that" but with the red :-) Timescale... apparently it's due in March  |

Yup, I think that was the other TB. Does look wonderful against the red.
March - hmm. Sounds familiar.
Never mind. It's quite a sensation when you open the case of your new, bespoke guitar. I envy you.
(Might have to have a word with Rory later in the year...)
Best of luck.
Alasdair.
