Back and Sides: Indian Rosewood. Back is live with radial bracing over lower bout.

Headstock: straight string pull with Schaller M6 mini tuners.
Rosette: Jason Kostal inspired stained glass design using Coobah burl.
Bridge: Tasmanian Blackwood/CF/Blackwood sandwich. Second layer of CF between bridge patch and top.
Pick Up System: Fishman Ellipse Matrix with undersaddle piezo and mini mic.

Beautiful work there. Very clean. I keep meaning to give Falcate bracing a go - but I always find some great reason to do some other bracing scheme...
