Below are shop photos. Other than pore filler, guitar had no finish. Instrument will be delivered to Dream Guitars on February 18, 2005.

Maple staves on sides enhance the contrast of the Blackwood.

Sheppard/Dream Label

African Blackwood rosette with dyed maple lines. Sapwood on center line of top.

 

The binding is African Blackwood sapwood. So we have Blackwood on Blackwood. As the binding winds it moves from black to white (off white sapwood).

Bookmatched African Blackwood headstock overlay with sapwood on centerline.
