Nice R9.

Are the pics from different time periods? Notice the difference in arm wear on the lower bout bottom edge directly across from the bifurcated flecks. The middle pic clearly shows a deeper wear pattern vs. either of the other pics. Or is this just a focus / lighting issue? Your pic in post #1390 also shows this.

In the right light, there’s good flame under the Oxblood
The file is too large.

Green, the 2 pics are different guitars. I posted them as they are similar. Mine is ML the other is a pic from Matt Koehler. His looks to be a 1 piece top.

Beautiful Matt!! I can spot a one piece top a mile away. I don't think I could force myself to put a pickguard on it though. But in this case, it works. Congrats!!

Yes, I see that in post #1390. What about the pics in your post #1382? They very much seem to be the same guitar yet the wear pattern is different in the middle photo.

Just the lighting I think.
