2012 Custom Classic #119

This guitar is an interesting commission. My old friend has given me a drawing of the odd and asymmetrical shape of the guitar and I have to make it sing. Note the 13 separate sections of the top bordered by the bracing. This is part of the custom order. The number 13 plays a role here in a number of ways.
