After this thread https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/258197/cedar-rosewood-vs-spruce-walnut#latest someone pointed me at this on eBay

Cedar on rosewood OOO size 14 frets so a great compliment to my spruce/walnut OO.

I feel like I should know, but what is it?  

The headstock reminds me of an Adamas - before they do the carving...

@deejayen it’s a Milsom small builder  but produces lovely guitars. 

@bertie each to their own I like the headstock

That’s because it is. It knows what you’re doing. And thinks you should really wash your hands after what you just did.

again ?

Congrats, that's fabulous, and I'm sure it sounds amazing. Great woods!

Is the wood combo what you were hoping for tone wise?

That is horrible. Ugly and unsightly. Please let me know when you're done so I can buy it and totally remove it from public view!

Yes, although I’m not exactly sure what I was looking for but it gives me something different and a tone I enjoy.

Nice looking guitar except the headstock looks like a vase of flowers 
This doesn't mean it won't sound fantastic though, so hope you enjoy it. HNGD.

That's a lovely looking guitar. Interesting and different too. Yes, the headstock takes some getting used to but I'm becoming accustomed to it and rather suspect that I'd come to love it if the playing turned out to be as rewarding as the looking. I'm assuming mahogany or mahoganioid for the neck, and ebony for the fretboard and bridge. It's a striking bit of rosewood to make the back - for some reason I like rosewood that is more brownish and with bigger grain; I shouldn't imaging that it sounds any different, it just looks nice. And finally the cedar: that is quite possibly the grainiest cedar I have seen. If I hadn't been told it was cedar I'd guess something like well-aged Bunya. But I daresay it will sound just like all the other cedar I'm familiar with - which is to say glorious. 

Enjoy!
