Absolutely gorgeous, but your rug there is holding up signs and rude gestures behind the guitar trying to steal some of the attention.

Making sure I understand this construction: this is really four pieces of bookmatched walnut, two wings on each side, hollowed out and put back together, right?
Beautiful work!

Happiness is having one of your favorite artists gig with an axe you made ....
