I looked up Casper guitars. Did you have it custom made? Please tell us about it. Wouldn’t mind seeing the rest of it too.

The Casper guitar that is shown came from a Luthier in Michigan, his name is Ken Casper. This is his website. https://casperguitar.com/
Ken is a very easy person to work with and you will find that he is very knowledgeable skilled craftsman, and is very humble which is refreshing.
Ken is a perfectionist that takes his time to achieve perfection, I know that he spent about 6 weeks tuning the soundboard (top) to assure no dead spots, and tonal balance.
This guitar was a Saint Clair Model, it is similar to a Gibson L-00 size.
When working with Ken, you can select the Model, the soundboard, the back, the sides, neck construction, frets, and fret board. Since the guitar was going to be used in Hospice care, we decided to make this a Christian themed guitar, and Ken created all the inlay work as well. The reality is that this not only plays exceptionally well, but sounds like a much larger guitar. Ken has sound clips on his website of some of the guitars he has created as well as other pictures. My son is Andrew and you can hear sound clips at the bottom of the sights and sounds page.
We considered that we wanted an heirloom guitar. You can see that Ken is very versatile with incorporating what is important to you. The cardinals were in memory of Grandparents that have passed, who were supportive and dear to my son as he struggled with his music. They were always encouraging no matter what others thought of us or him.
I am including a frontal view as requested.
