James has the scroll inlays in the fingerboard and also the nameplate. Here's the plate on its own:

  And inlaid in the fingerboard:

  I saw that the thorns for the rose and much of the stem was already cut out. There will likely be more inlay updates very soon. It's looking great.

Jim, could you tell me what the neck woods are?
They look amazing, and so does the cocobolo.
I really want to see this one!

Some nice things to look at:

 

 

 

  It's a really lovely design and it's translated to the inlay oh so nice. Just ready for the flowers and the falling petals now.   The neck is the standard Tribute recipe of Western Flame Maple, Purpleheart and Cherry.

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.

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!
