DRAGON Acoustic with beveled arm rest

Finished (mostly) an acoustic guitar. It was a challenge on several fronts. - Tried a new bracing pattern inside, Added a beveled arm rest and added a beveled area to give more access to the higher notes. It has African movingui back and sides, African white limba top (also known as korina), Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, Walnut trim and walnut for beveled areas. Neck is mahogany with walnut and movingui stringers. Haven't installed a tail pin yet, due to trying to decide if I add electronics to the guitar (in which case it would be a jack vs pin)
The biggest challenge was the inlay. It is a full size dragon using different types of abalone and mother of pearl.
