GR-1SF custom build, as a tribute to a Harmony H62.

Back looks good to me. The face could probably go a bit darker for me, possibly because of that lighter central section. But it's a lot better than it was before and the outer sections do appear to be a similar shade to that on real H62s. The finish should go slightly darker with some clear on it though.

Gold logo and central design, light cream truss-rod cover still to come?

I'm also toying with the idea of a tortoiseshell headstock face veneer, if I decide against keeping the current veneer. I'll give it another bit of darker stain first, although i don't mind it as it is. I've given up on the idea of it looking exactly like the real thing, because there are too many differences already, structurally.
I'm not sure what else I'll add to the face. I like the idea of some kind of Fleur de Lys, as it's a relatively universal guitar adornment, but I won't put a Harmony logo on. I think I'll put a tortoiseshell truss-rod cover on it, if I stay with the veneer face - I am somewhat fond of good tortoiseshell, as you may have noticed...
