A BIG THANKS to JOHN HOW!!
EXCELLENT!

Ain't it great when a plan works out?

The guitar looks fantastic; the overall aesthetics and the individual woods themselves. John's guitars seem to have an appeal that just draws you in and makes you want to pick it up and play; hard to do with a picture.

It looks unique, but not too far out; just right.

Glad to hear you are well satisfied.
