GC with European Spruce and Quilted Honduran Mahogany

Now I'm building a Grand Concert cutaway with a European spruce top quilted Honduran mahogany, sycamore rosette, and cocobolo bindings, headplates, fingerboard, and bridge. I wiped some naptha to show off the undulating grain of the mahogany back and sides. It's also very solid and dense...very easy to work with. No two ways about it, some beautiful wood! I found some beautiful flatsawn cocobolo boards that make for some beautiful swirly patterns on the binding. Closeups soon.
