#20 Jumbo Cutaway

This guitar amazes me how beautiful it turned out.  The beauty of the wood is startling - from the curly sitka top to the bigleaf maple burl soundhole rosette - that kind of travels up into the fingerboard... morphing  into a mountain - scraggly tree and an eagle soaring above on the 12th fret.  "Sometimes the angels are with you"...

Nice deep, rich sound - not "too" loud.  I made this body a bit less deep than my standard jumbos.  New bridge style too.
