Good god it's nice. I haven't even heard it out in the hallway. But I can't get the full experience. No fingerpicks. Racist.

I was just going to type the exact same line. IMHO Dave has exceptionally good taste. I hardly ever disagree with the specs of his builds and he always chooses tonewoods wisely as well.

Dave, when you have a moment I'd love to read your thoughts about this guitar compared with the rest of your stable.

Congrats on yet another fine addition to your collection.

I played it. It was jaw dropping. Very well balanced. Huge bass. That's hard to do. Thanks, Dave, for letting me play it. I really appreciate it. Amazing job, Leo!

Right up there as one of my favorite build threads on the AGF.

Absolutely beautiful, and even more so in person.

Congrats again, Dave!

Sublime!

Congratulations to the builder, the owner and anyone who gets to hear, or better yet, play that thing!
