Beautiful!!!! What did you use for the sound hole and string inserts? I new at this and need to know where to find these decorative items. Do you have a pic of the string ends inside. Thanks jh

Really gorgeous! Love the simple, clean look. Same question as below... did your brace the top? Do they go through the back?
Comment by Jon Pruett on May 17, 2010 at 7:53am
The scrollwork is great! Beautiful build!

Did you do any additional bracing around the grommets for the strings, or is the box bottom by itself strong enough to handle the tension?
