This is the sister to the flamed "A" model.. One piece back, engleman top. Put strings on it today, sounds good, nice action.
Thanks for all your feedback..We really appreciate it. I have had the same day job for almost 34 years,it has been a good living, but the passion has died out. But this instrument buiding is exciting and interesting, big anticipation at the completion of a finished one.

Barry, you have one of the coolest headstocks in the business. Nice design.

Ditto on the headstock and three cheers for the one-piece back.

Yeah that peghead inlay is really cool. Lp

Another kudo for the headstock shape.
One of the things I most dislike about F-styles is the peghead--way too "overdone" (this is true, IMHO, of the whole F "thing", but most true of the peaghead).
It really torques me that Gibson once made a perfectly lovely two-point oval-hole, and then messed it up with that dad-blamed frippery headstock. Oh, well....
I think your adaptation is still a bit twee, but it's a big improvement.
(Guess you can tell that I don't suffer from scroll envy--but I'd never actually argue with those who do. To each his own...).
