Hi Folks,

Fresh pic's from Simon! I'm very pleased with this beauty-- should be on the way to Colorado in about a week. We are waiting for the Hoffee case to arrive probably this week or next.


Simon has been an absolute gentleman through the entire process. He has always taken the time to answer every question via email & phone, even when very busy. Just a fine young man!

It looks wonderful Kurt! I hope it plays and sounds as beautiful as it looks. I'll also be very interested in your review and your impression of the scale length. Congratulations! You have a wonderful guitar coming your way.

Wow, gorgeous instrument! Congratulations, mesa. Those tuners are so classy.
Hope you find the time to share some soundclips once you've taken delivery.

Another classic beauty (and tonal beauty to match) by Simon...

What a spectacular instrument! It's worth the effort to chose only soundboards with no runout. Great!

Beautiful!
My eye is drawn to the headstock shape: very much to my liking. If I had the means, I'd probably ask for a headstock face veneer that isn't made out of quite so many pieces.

This is a stunning build....one of my favourites for sure! But then again, I am very drawn towards Simon's design sense congrats on such a beauty. May it sing for you just as beautifully
