Thanks Louie...I also played Benoit’s guitar....

In terms of Dalbergias, John has quartersawn billets of Cocobolo, EIR and HRW. He purchased this wood >20-years ago. Both Mario’s and Benoit’s BRW guitars while both beautiful were to no surprise were flatsawn. BTW, I meant to say hi again at Woodstock a few weeks back. I thought that I saw you, but you were talking to someone...
