Handcrafted Instruments by Danny Molter
I have installed the bindings on John’s guitar and fingerboard. I used a maple and walnut chevron purfling to compliment the Koa body. I have also bound the fingerboard with curly Koa to match the body and to contrast the maple fingerboard. I have installed a bookmatched Koa headstock on the neck that came from the body wood. John has choosen the Cocobolo bridge for the guitar which will look great. The next step will be to rout the neck cavity. It should look like a guitar by next week.

Danny, You were absolutely right on target. The binding and purfling look great against that gorgeous Koa. Thanks for the suggestion.
