Really a fine result, Bob - beautiful in both appearance and sound. Congratulations to both you and Bruce, and thanks for sharing the journey with us.

 I never had any doubt that the nexus of Bruce's mastery at the bench combined with use premium woods would produce spectacular results. For me, it has twice before...

Aside from Bruce's ability to conjure the best out what is on his bench through his acoustic mastery; what is different about his single 0s from traditional single 0s are a slightly lengthened body compared to the Nazareth namesake and the use of a long-scale (25.4") vs. the traditional short-scale (24.9") associated with these guitars. I believe that the added body volume and scale length contributes to making these companion sized guitars "different".

So Fedex was scheduled to deliver the guitar tomorrow (March 17th).
Of course while at work today, I receive an e-mail alert from Fedex that it was "out for delivery" at 11:45 AM followed by a "Delivery Attempt Made" notification at 12:45 PM (argh!). Good news is they are holding it at the Fedex distribution center which is open late tonight... A quick dinner of leftover turkey chile verde and a salad and then off to Fedex..

Nah, I am taking the long-term strategy. Have a nice dinner ready for my wife when she arrives home for work (I do all the cooking and she has the longer commute) and then go get the noise making indulgence at Fedex...😀

Bruce's guitar arrived here in the snowy east coast AOK (always a bit nervous during transport of a new instrument). It is every bit as beautiful in person as it was in the photos that I shared. It is a true masterpiece instrument in every detail. It weighs 3 lb. 6 oz.
After 45 minutes of play this evening, it is premature to share my full playing impressions other than to say it is a wonderfully musical instrument, an absolute joy to play and its timbre leads you to forget that it's a modest sized guitar. More soon, but all is happy here in NJ...
