A couple more beauties, Peter. That small concert has been in the works for a while now, right?

I love the look of the wood on "number 1" - just beautiful!

Assuming that IS MadRose, I no longer have a set that nice in my locker, and am teetering on the edge of one of the big sins. Not killing or stealing, you fools, merely coveting. I will try to hold it to admiring.

I sure wish in some sort of stretch, I needed another fingerstyle guitar because Peter's work is exceptional.

Really beautiful guitars, Peter. I'd love to try one. Very classy looking instruments.

I was fortunate to get to play a Zion Road Trip guitar. It was absolutely marvelous in every way! Peter, I admire your work greatly, and these two new instruments just confirm that in new ways.

Yes, I was asking about the rosette. I found the color of the cocobolo beautiful and the accent with the abalone, to be perfect.

I'm not a big rosette kind of guy usually, but that one just spoke to me.

Both of the guitars are beautiful, and if we weren't building a pool in March, well.. you know. <sigh>

Peter, with such beautiful materials and faultless workmanship, your guitars look as good as any I've seen here.

I always wonder why there's such a discrepancy between the prices of those few builders at the top of the tree (price-wise) and those of the middle tier such as yourself.

For those of you with money to burn in your guitar fund... and may be sitting on the fence about a guitar that you've never played before... Let me say this:

1. Can't you see how beautiful both these guitars are?

and

2. Having owned a Cornerstone (and currently trying to get it back)... You really should snap up one of these guitars before it's too late!

That's not what I wanted to hear . I actually called my bank as I like to have a loan on the go to keep my credit rating up but it was a no-go.
