That top is really nice. Is that a samitch material of some type between the Amboyna & Ash, or is it some creative expertise with the finish?

so what's the middle layer?

Spanish Cedar.

I'm really loving those Amboyna tops! Greg @ Rocket Music has one similar to this in his store - the wood choices for the body/center/top really, REALLY work well on this instrument.

I was keeping my eye out for this one. That is one of the most gorgeous LG's I've ever seen. Can't wait to see it with a neck!

Noice!

Neck will be fretted today, should be assembled and ship tomorrow...and you won't have to drive far to see it in person...
