Hey there,

I was not available to take delivery this week, so I should have it by the middle of next. I think it is going out on Monday. I hope Steve is continuing to play it a little to keep it awake to it's new job!

Thanks, Tom

Well my much anticipated Kinnaird deep bodied Southeast Asian/Lutz has arrived!



The box was in perfect condition, thanks shipping guys!

The inlay is so beautiful in person, the silver just looks great!



The silking in the top is amazing!!!



The back and sides, and neck lamination is perfect:

[Nemoman]

Wow! Looks amazing!

You must be on cloud 9--hope none of your animals need attention anytime soon!

Congrats! And kudos, Steve and Ryan!

[TomB'sox]

This thing sounds incredible. I think this is the perfect guitar, the deep bodied OM. It is so sensitive that a light touch makes it purr, but put a pick on it and it fills the room! The bass is strong, the note separation is perfect, the crystalline trebles, and the sustain is for a week! I can't imagine a more pure sound coming from a guitar.

I told Steve that it was impossible for all of his guitars to sound this good, they probably do, but I think they spilled a little extra fairy dust on this one!!! He warned me it may fall asleep when shipped, but I hope it did not, because if this sounds like this while sleeping, I do not think I am man enough to handle it when it wakes up!!!

Well done Kinnaird West!!!! I am one happy camper!!!! I wish all my AGF friend were here right now to play it, I would love to see the reactions!!!

What animals? Now leave me alone, I'm busy!!! Hey, get off my lawn while your at it!

Really happy for you Tom. Elated the trip was safe and you are just about exploding with joy. Oh, what a feeling!

And that is just what I wanted to hear about the tone. I just hope they saved a tiny bit of that dust.

[Steve Kinnaird]

Well, well, very good news! Sending out a guitar is akin to sending your child out and explaining to them how they must be on their best behaviour. (British spelling just in case Dave H. is still reading.)
"Now go be a good reflection on your parents", and all that.
Tom, if it even starts to misbehave, you let us know!

It was a joy to build this for you, and we thank you again for this chance.
And for being such a good customer-friend!

I was wondering, where did these buttons come from? I've been looking for a source for wooden replacement buttons for 510s. Can someone hook me up? Thanks.

PM sent jmagill.

Congratulations Tom! It's always nice to receive a new guitar definitely one of the top feelings one can experience in my opinion. Looking forward to hearing some music from this!

[TuckerRE]

Isn't it fun to finally have it in your hands?!

Steve and Ryan - another killer job! You guys are amazing!

[Chedeng88]

Another happy ending! Congrats Tom and well done Steve and Ryan!

I don't think we'll be hearing from Tom in a while.

Of course, we agree Marcus. Opening the case for that first time is a magical experience. It seems Tom is pleased, and that makes the labor worthwhile.
Thanks for chiming in.

Thanks for the kind word. Yes, I hope Tom and his new OM have a fine weekend together!
