    Amazing. Do you know if they send these commission photos to everyone who orders new?

    the headstock inlay is quite intricate/delicate, any idea if it’s hand made or are they using laser cutting there? It’s such a tight fit on mine and hard to tell.

    Yes they do, for the custom builds (not Pioneer or Americana)

    I receive far more pics than I have shared here

    Choice of 3 bridges, plain or marbled ebony

    Are you set on ebony for the bridge? what about Braz?

    They didn't suggest it this time
    tbh I think a less plain grained wood will better match the Koa

    Also I am wary of adding Braz to a guitar when it's not materially affecting the sound - because of CITES

    Fair point. Agreed on the grain

    If it sounds anything like as good as it looks it will be a stunner:

    In my experience, the Avalon guys were great at coming up with suggestions and alternatives they thought might enhance a custom guitar during the build.

    Getting close now, they have asked what strings to fit

    I assume just gluing on the bridge, putting the machine heads in, and then a setup for the saddle and nut
