| Just to help you get as excited as I am about this instrument, here are some pictures of the parts so far. Above is the back getting cut out on the bandsaw. |
 |
| Here is the maple rim with my "keeper" in it to hold the shape. It is also curly maple. |
 |
| The tuners and tailpiece. Tailpiece is an Allen cast bronze, already working on a nice patina. The tuners are Golden Age Relic Brass. They are new. They just look like they are 80 years old. |
 |
| The Belly is a beautiful piece of Engelmann spruce from the mountains of Colorado. Consistent 20+ Grains per inch, and clear, pure color all the way through. |
 |
| The neck is maple, has a classic truss rod, plus brass bars inlayed for added mass to hopefully improve sustain and tone. The peghead has a slightly adjusted classic shape. Similar shape but the common damage points have been eliminated for a cleaner, less fragile System. |
 |
| Another shot of the back. Check out that curl! |
