A Little Sister was born in the Brooks family

[Basvarken]

A little sister is born in the Brooks family!
Built by me.
It's a gift from my youngest sister to her husband (check the 12th fret inlay).
The tailpiece was made by my other sister, who is a goldsmith.
So it's really a family affair 😉

That came out great!

Beautiful. I like the tailpiece a lot. Does Pauline take orders?

[Basvarken]

Thank you guys.

Yes, Pauline does take orders.
Most of the time it's for jewelery.
But she told me she really enjoyed making this piece of hardware very much. So I guess she wouldn't mind making another one ;-)
