I think the logo and headstock on this guitar is nothing short of breathtaking. Is that purpleheart?

The wood looks like ebony to me. I agree the logo is shunning almost luminous in quality.

Such a fine example. Almost looks Photoshopped, as if that couldn't possibly have been made by human hands.

Wow - these are astounding!

Here's a thread from a few years back with a bunch of logos, from the earliest, more austere ones to the more recent, gorgeous ones.

It's one of the little Alembic "details" that other makers overlook.

These logos are like the jewel in the crown (headstock, in this case) - appropriate signatures for unique works of art.

The care that is taken to craft these logos is indicative of the pride and care that goes into every step of the manufacturing process.
