Its #111, I dont know if there are any pics on the Hal page but no matter. Its a Martin 00 14 shape that Ed has just made a couple of so far. Elizabeth Wasserman's Sassafras was the 1st I think. Oh, mines walnut.

I have a Halcyon on order. Your guitar only increases my anticipation.

The other end of the spectrum for me is my M 36. Two rosewood guitars as different as night and day. I'm having terrible thoughts. Pono makes two parlors smaller than mine. I keep wondering what they sound like.

Congrats on a great looking Halcyon! Love the wood. I have an OM on order that should be getting real close to production and was considering the parlor. Would love to hear some sound samples.

Wow, what a beautiful Halcyon! Congrats and Enjoy.

Looking forward to that first time I play one of Ed's guitars.

Dru don't know where you are, but we have a St. John's dealer now, O'Brien's music.

sprucedup, don't forget to take it in for a look see somewhere in about 3, 6, and 12 months. They can move around a bit when they're new as things settle into their new occupation, often so slyly that you don't notice it's out until it gets put back right.

Action should be precisely .090 bass, .070 treble.

Thanks for the heads up Ed. I do my own setups, so I'll pay attention over time. What hex size do you use for the TR?

Added a few short sound clips to the original post. Top of the line recording equipment was utilized (iPhone).
