WEST Spalted Pecan Build
We’ll be updating this post over the course of this WEST build. It’s future owner, John, suggested the idea, and Pop and I agreed. Remember the hole on top near the back is the “F” hole. Wacky.
Here’s an early shot before radiusing and cavity routing.
Here’s the body after sanding and a few coats of finish. Note the p/up.

The guitar is now complete, and it will be delivered to the customer at the Montreal Guitar Show
in July. Thanks, John. It’s truly special.
