Received the guitar a few days back and oh my is it gorgeous!

Stunning ziricote back hand-braced by Bill.
Swiss spruce top with triple ring rosette.
The insides of a Charis soundbox with Bill’s insignia and serial number #441 etched into the neck joint.
Swiss spruce top with koa / pearl abalone / koa triple ring abalone rosette.
Visually stunning ziricote back and sides in varying hues.
5-piece neck, ebony headstock and ebony fingerboard with doves in flight fingerboard inlays.
Ebony headstock outlined in pearl abalone purfling with a koa Charis logo outlined in pearl.
Matching ziricote backplate with a “ducktail” neck joint outlined in pearl abalone. Besides being aesthetically elegant, this carefully carved raised edge adds to strength and mass without trespassing into the playing section of the neck joint.
Near complete Charis guitar body prior to fixing on the neck.

Another masterpiece by Bill - Charis SJ in Italian Spruce and Ziricote.
