I love the beak! Just fabulously executed.

Good observation. I wonder if that is just the lighting or if he's actually shaded the neck. I suspect the former.

Yes, just ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous, here's the back with some lacquer.

Unfortunately, we have to trash the whole guitar and start over because there is a tiny imperfection in the top . . . terrible grade of Adi. And look at all that orange peel in the finish!!

Ah well, that's life. Anyway, now you can ask for a better back and sides set... and some decent bindings! But if your going to trash this guitar, I'll help you out and take it off your hands..

garbage in, garbage out!

I’ll have him send to you. I can’t play a guitar that looks like that.

Well put, Mr. Paul. Well put.

Not to mention that nasty white paint Mr. Slobod sprayed on the back. How did that happen?

Yes, it’s a really lovely set. This kind of dark, straight grained wood is my favorite for sure.
