The 7th fret is the bias fret. Top is Swiss spruce, back and sides IRW and neck is Queensland maple. The soundhole rosette is a Jason Kostal style "stained glass" affair made from pieces of Coobah burl. The headstock is a straight string pull design and the finish is French Polish using hard shellac. The guitar has a Fishman matrix pickup/mic system.The guitar is basically finished bar some final setting up and a touch up of the finish on the top.
