"Tear Drop" shaped guitar

Finished this guitar yesterday.  It is bouzouki shaped.   I have made several bouzouki in the last couple of years and thought I'd apply some of that to a guitar.  Plays well.   Back is flamed maple, sides are quilted maple, top is spruce, bindings and plurfing are padauk, inlays are pearl, abalone, maple and padauk, fingerboard, bridge and peg head are rosewood.   Made all with wood odds and ends I've had laying around to reduce cost of procuring new stock for this test case.

Went to Dan and April's home today to do Easter with granddaughter Payton.  Just a couple of favorite photos (more on facebook)
