There is NO WAY I'm waiting for Tom to arrive tonight before I open these...! I'm warming up the espresso machine as I type, gonna shoot a double then make a big mess on my living room floor and dig into the candy store...!!!

I wish he'd had some time before he packed them up, I'd have put some time in on them......very cool that you get to baby sit.....
 That tunnel 13/Braz guitar is pretty special I bet....

Looks like you're going to have fun Dave, but we should really talk minerals. Wow! Nice collection. I mean I should be pulling out my geology puns like "You seem to have a lot of gneiss schist." Though, it doesn't look like much metamorphic stuff there.

That redwood top is just so sweet!
An absolutely beautiful guitar...I'll bet she really sings too. A must-play at SBAIC.

Legacy Select Swiss/brazilian
Thanks for the comments everyone much appreciated! While I have time before we head up to Santa Barbara I'll post the remaining two I built for the show. This one is a Legacy Select in my Signature Series. Features some really spectacular old growth Brazilian rosewood that is such a pleasure to work with and sounds wonderful. The top is Swiss spruce. I also did a bound backplate with purfling details.
