The option is a bit pricey, but very cool indeed.

I'm the happy owner of this sunburst Savoy.
Fantastic little guitar, not much to add except that pictures don't do her justice!
Here are a few new ones from today:

That is one beautiful guitar, Tof. Only thing I would do different would be to have the same burst also on the headstock and the same Foroh runers, but in Cosmo Black. A Savoy like yours with adjustments like I mentioned may just be my new favorite guitar. Hmmm...if only I had the coin!

The pictures don't render colors accurately. Faceplate hue is actually a better match with the body than what the pix suggests (but I would have preferred black!), and tuners are in cosmo black.

Looks incredible Tof! You are correct, your pictures really highlight the beauty and elegance of this little gem. Love the burst and the upgraded tuners. Congrats!

There have been recent threads that had fretboard markers on CF guitars as part of the discussion. For some reason, I prefer markers on wood guitars, but none on CF guitars. That said, Jim Whelan's new blue/green X20 has a lone Celtic knot at the 12th fret and now this Savoy with straight line markers...I like both. Yep, really like these markers on the Savoy.

The lighting for the photo makes the tuners look more silver, but looking closer, yeah, I can tell they're cosmo black.

The sunburst is the icing to the cake!

Blackbird has a winner with the Savoy.

Ouch! That is so beautiful it hurts. Philosopher/King Joe makes a move--step back. Blackbird has been the source of many wonderments, and this is one.

Also gotta say that the simple herringbone soundhole design and color looks fantastic on this sunburst guitar.

I notice the location of the neck strap pin. Seems odd due to the neck/body design, but as long as it works, should be good. Savoy owners...any issues with this approach when using a strap?
