All Walnut LPS

Inlaid paua abalone against the curly koa center strip, camera phone isn't that great but it does look nice .  a bit more final sanding and a little tint to the koa and it will be ready for finishing.

sanded to 600 grit and a few coats of french polish ( still wet)  really makes everything POP

25"  24 fret 12" radius

As it is a neck through , I have the ability to sink the neck in for a nice compact package.
 
I  spent the morning in the shop , handcutting a set of Koa pickup rings ..  a bit tricky but worth the effort
 
with the new Koa rings ... (updated pic .. looks better in the sunlight)
