hummingbird at the fifth fret. This particular one is for my daughter,

decreasing radius fret board from 10 to 14 in.

The rich, red stain and a coat of sealer. Mmmmm!
The mock up
Vua La!
And, of course, the custom crate case. I've

have made several of these cases for many of my
earlier projects.
