Thanks everyone for the comments. Bobbys been great to work with and I'm looking forward to stringing it up. This is actually my first solace without a cutaway so I'm curious if I will hear a noticeable difference.

Default Wow!

Bobby,

Coming along beautifully! Love the body shape and finish details. Wenge color and grain lends an understated elegance ... and I'm sure a wonderful tonal character. We're all on the edge of our chairs for your review of this one. Thanks for posting.

Happy New year to All!


John

Thanks everyone. A big shout out to Jason Kostal. The headstock was inspired from Jason's beautiful headstock.

Bobby, your guitar looks great! You're in for such a treat. Tom's guitars rock! I've had mine almost two years now and it keeps getting better every day.

What wood is the bridge going to be made from?

Tom, well done, sir! I love the Kostal inspired headstock too.

Kindly,
Danny

It is unbelievable to me that a guitar this beautiful is a "basic" model. Just gorgeous!!

Thanks Danny I appreciate the kind comments! Mike for the most part it's a basic guitar with a few upgrades which includes the Kostal inspired headstock, coco top trim, top, and b&s. Well now that I wrote it out I guess it's not so basic
