Classical Guitar

Finished a classical guitar (1st classical I've made, although it is SN 0057 of instruments I've made).  Back and sides are black limba.  Bridge, fingerboard, head plate, and strap button are rosewood.  Bindings are rosewood.   Herringbone rosette and plurfings.  Schaller gold tuners.   It is interesting as neck to body joins at the 14th fret (vs standard 12), and it has 24 frets.  Cutaway gives access to higher frets.   Top is spruce with a 'fan' bracing pattern inside.   Inlay is gold MOP.
