Talking Cornerstone MdRw/Adirondack Spruce SJ

I will write a full review with audio and maybe video, but I am absolutely thrilled! The guitar is gorgeous and it sounds beautiful. Basically, everything I was looking for. Thank you to Peter for a fantastic journey and ride through this process.

Enjoy the photos! Review to come later.

Wow - that's great that you had such an excellent experience. Beautiful looking "madi" ... and the "adi" is gorgeous, too. Too bad about the hole in the side ... did that happen in shipping?

Really looking forward to hearing your recording. You might have to make us one every 6 mos or so as it "breaks in" and you learn it's sweet spots. I have a madi Larrivee and it has changed remarkably (for the better) over the past year.

Absolutely beautiful, and I'm willing to bet it sounds pretty good too

I'm glad it arrived quickly and safely - looking forward to your review and hopefully some sound clips!

Really great looking guitar. I'd love to give a Cornerstone a try and that particular one looks right up my alley of what I'd order.
