Lovely guitar, Dave (as always)! So, what's holding the truss rod cover in place; magnet?

Great looking guitar Dave and I know first hand from hearing it that it sounds great too. Dave brought it down to my house a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. That's right Arnt, I used a couple tiny magnets instead of a screw on the truss rod cover.
Steve- I keep the RH in the 40's in my shop so it's never a problem.I have dehumidifier and humidifier and the AC unit does the job in the summer.

Really nice Dave.
Your dehumidification system must make a lot of water down there in Florida!

Very nice Dave!
What is the saddle material? It almost looks opalescent in the closeup of the bridge and rosette.

Tim, I don't know of any plans for a Grand Concert sized guitar but I'm sure they're out there.
This is my own design. It's 15.25" lower bout, 10.75 upper, and 9.50 waist.
Clay, - The saddle is polished up unbleached bone.
