My, my,  I am a little late to the show here,
the back of that neck is beautiful, as is the whole guitar, a beauty.

looks beautiful any updates photos? cant wait

No pics, but the material for the rose came in and James has been cutting the petals. They look great. I will post images for you as soon as the parts are globbed up with glues!

Bag o' petals:

  and placing the rose:

This inlay process is fascinating to me . That I am being allowed to be a witness to such artistic genius is priceless to me .  
 
     Thank you so very much ______.

WOW!

I'm curious what the petals are made of.  This will be really cool to see when it is strung.

Like Wolf said; fascinating!

The red is a custom-cast acrylic that includes ground up mother of pearl in the mix. The pink is a reconstituted stone, but I'm sorry I don't recall which.   Here's a couple of shots with the fingerboard inlay completed:

 I love the falling petals.  

Outstanding!

Gott im Himmel !  ( Good Heavens !)

WOW!
