That looks nice. :)
Tell us a bit more about this guitar.
What kind of binding did you use?
Is that headstock angle a bit shallower that most?
How does it sound.
What kind of tuners are you using?
I need your help. I can't possibly make all the mistakes myself!

Binding is black walnut, and yes the head angle is too shallow, borrowed a trick from Fender and installed a string retainer bar, it works, will pay more attention to the angle on the next ones I build. I like the sound, with a smaller body (concert sized) it has a bright tone.
