Definitely one of the most unique and beautiful instruments I've seen - you must have an art background!

Absolutely stunning and amazing work!

Thank you very much.
I think so, too.
For independent guitar makers like us, it's one of the things we can differentiate our guitars from factory made guitars.
I'm not talking which is better, though.
They are just different and it's nice for customers to have choices I think.

Thank you very much Marcus-san.
I'll try to do that!

Haha, I actually don't have it, but I learned a lot from the nature.
Thank you Mother Nature.

Thank you very much Daniel-san.
I usually make pretty simple guitars but this one is totally different.
I focused on Yanase Cedar which grew up in Kochi prefecture where my mother is from.

A Masterwork. That's all that can be said.

[TomB'sox]

Wow, wow, wow, that is a work of art and fittingly so since it is heading to a museum which is good and bad in that it will not be played much?????

I hope you build with the cedar again if it works as a musical instrument also because it is stunning.

Congrats
