I have me fingers crossed that this is a spec guitar heading to B.I.G. V!!!!

Thanks Tom! This particular guitar is sold BUT if time permits I may try to do another one for the B.I.G. show. I would like to mention that I am bringing one of my new multiscale offset soundhole models to B.I.G. It is called the "Millennium" model. I will be starting another thread soon to cover the B.I.G. builds. I'm excited indeed!

Hi John, The carved back strip is a pain in my lower bout! Seriously though...the plan is to have one coat of finish on the center strip so the detail does not get lost. A seamless execution of this process will be quite the challenge but absolutely necessary...wish me luck!
BTW...I am just over the mountain from you in Erwin...it'd be good to see ya!
