Whats the little tab on the side? Does that disassemble the guitar
Not to brag, but it does sound pretty great. Its a great wood combination.

I don't recommend that anyone pull the tab on the side sound port or you may hear a sound that will likely disappoint.

Thanks for the compliment. It has a similar grace and flow of your dad's guitar sketch I fondly remember.

Wow, you have a good memory Eire. It must be a few of those younger brain cells actively at work?

I see the soundport as a perfect place to clip a set list or lyric sheet!

I'm sorry. I'll go sit in the corner now.

Awe shucks Kwak, you can come out of the [time out] corner and play. Perhaps I should cut the next sound port to resemble a paper clip?

Thanks, Tim. I hope Mary's not mad at me.

Seriously though, I really like minimalist nature of that headstock artwork. It's almost like a piece of calligraphy. Did Mary draw that?

That redwood is beautiful. The mahogany, redwood, maple combo is just perfect.

Nope, not mad at all. As a matter of fact this was designed by the lady who ordered it and though it might be a bit hard to believe Tim and I actually minimized from the original plan.
