just to offer.. not to say that it isn't brilliant work , no way..
but
Inlaid TRC would be the finishing touch.
with so many 3 point pre truss rod ornate themes going on,
to continue the double flowerpot theme, continuing into the otherwise blank space..
back into my hole, now..

If you'd quit putting your name on the peghead you could devalue it and pass it off as a lowly Gibson.
Fantastic work Hans

Hans, That has a great baroque look. What classy work you do.

Thanks Darryl and all! Shots of the back really don't do it justice, but I don't have time to take better ones...we're off to Flagstaff.

Your work is like a perfect vintage gibson with refinment of fit and finish. i have to say you are my new favorite builder.
Again, thanks Carles and all! Pix of the F4C with dingus inside coming when I get back from Flagstaff.
Mike, this one will go to it's owner...I have another, but I don't know if I will bring it to IBMA...not exactly 3 point heaven.
Brad, I do hope to get out your way next year...maybe Thomas Point.
Well, off to the festival!

Hans! Is the front of that a stain or a type of paint? Odd color but I like it.
I am doing a 3 point right now too,not sure how I want to finish it yet,but I do want a change from the sunburst. Thanks for your posts, always beautiful work form Hans. Jd
John, it's just a very light antique amber stain. It looks washed out because I was in a hurry with the pix and the highlights are blown out. If you are looking to make yours authentic, I don't think I've ever seen one with a red sunburst top (other than a couple of mine). I beleive they were all either blond or blacktop.
