Nice colors, nice wood, going to be a beautiful guitar.
What scale is it?

Almost a shame to use that beautiful flamed maple for the back. :)
I need your help. I can't possibly make all the mistakes myself!

25 " scale 12" radius , medium jumbo frets . As to the back being too pretty for a back .. the inspiration is from violins
