I admit to an addiction to Vaschenko guitars. Vaschenko is an old world master Luthier who personally builds the entire guitar. Vaschenko includes a wonderful build photo status of your guitar as it progresses. The top on this one is a beauty. I chose an ebony fret board in lieu of rosewood, well because I like ebony
