Just wow. I'm trying to picture how awesome this instrument is going to sound. I'll busy myself with that question while I also try to figure out if the back is possibly prettier to stare at than the front.

It's going to look KILLER, but it's going to play and sound even better! I actually had the back posted as reserved top that was availalble for a custom order, but was thinking all along that it would be a perfect compliment to a really nice top. This one has been in the hopper for a while, and I'm genuinely excited to see this one finally come together.

The contrasting top woods are deadly.
