Beautiful work Andy! Sounds very powerful. And your rasgeado sounds great too.

There has been no axe from you whichs look I didn´t like. They all look haptically attractive and mostly aesthetically perfect to me (who isn´t too educated with tangents to shapes deemed traditional / judging on general aspects of form & color).
From far the rosette reminds me a bit of a typical sombrero pattern.

I think the maple and its birdseye pattern to be looking great.
Only don´t get why you don´t use that other fretwire which is softer than steel yet less wearing away, and further to my taste looking better on any guitar other than ones held in B&W optics.

Softer material on the fretboard appears to be a good choice anyway, which is why I would hope this maple to be not of the extreme hardness that I have experienced once / which some maple woods seem to feature.

Soundwise I can´t judge too much this time for not having headphones at hand while lappy speakers are crappy. Still, from what I could hear it seems as if this axe emits exactly how you described it.
Ought to be quite a flamenca!

Beautiful guitar, Andy. In 2007, my flamenco maestro and good friend Paco de Malaga served as the intermediary to Vicente Carrillo, whom he knew well, to build a flamenco guitar for me. Among other specs, it had a spruce top and Madagascar Rosewood back and sides. I had always liked Madagascar Rosewood and considered it (and still do) the most beautiful of Rosewoods. The guitar was beautiful and sounded great.
