Quilted Mahogany Dreadnought

This was custom built for a customer around 2005.  While most of my work tends to be out of left field, I like doing traditional stuff every now and then.   This one is pretty true to Martin specs.  I put a sealer coat over the reverse kerfing and side stays.  My initials are inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Finish is KTM-9 waterbased high gloss.
