Very nice. I love grainy guitars; I've got an Ibanez jumbo acoustic that is curly maple.
Is the maple laminated onto the body? I noticed a different grain on the back. What is the main body wood? What finish did you use?

Fantastic use of some beautiful wood! Eldest grandson has been hinting at a joint guitar project but I'm a little skeptical about trying it.Don, aka Pappy,
