Thanks Tom ... very much appreciated indeed!

For initial string up that sounds superb. Awesome David! I know it will sound so much better when the guitar (and strings) settle in but hard to imagine if it sounds that good now.

Wow David. I can't believe how much I look forward to these final videos of yours with the montage of the build and the sound clip over the top. This guitar sounds amazing and just a child yet, baby really. Congrats...now how long is that waiting list again???????

Hey Dennis ... yep ... it's still pretty green, but I'm really happy with the sound so far!
