00 Sitka/ Mahogany Steel String.

I finally buffed out and strung up my latest. This is my first guitar after my cataract surgery. It is nice to be able to see again and get past imagining my cut lines.
The guitar is an X braced 00 Martin shaped body with a 14 fret join and a long scale neck. The binding are either mahogany or Sapele. They contrast nicely with the back and sides. The rosette and the fret markers I used crushed turquoise. I sprayed 12 coats of post cat Royal Lac (4 per day) on a Silver tip pore fill and Seal Lac. I leveled with 600P each morning before spraying. I do plan to put a pick guard on. If it was for me I would leave it as it is.
I made a short video showing the guitar and me trying to play and sing 4 & 20 with palmer4 tuning.
No singing standard tuning
