Perchance this has been posted before (likely, although I couldn't find it):

Looks interesting, I don't dislike it, tbh!

What I do not like is the hue around the f-hole (at least something to complain about :lol: )

I think it's lovely. If had the extra scratch I'd have this done to a project 300 series.

I love the paisley motive but i am a whinger for details, and what i called the hue around the soundhole is just that the - what i will call - milky transition is not the same width all around the f-hole or even around the perimeter of the body. Minus points for the scratchplate on this one, they ought to have done something, perchance continue motive on the lower plate with a semitransparent top plate
