I'm in the process of building another similar-ish guitar -- a spruce top elevated neck OO. This one has maple back/sides and f-holes (though still a flat top) and will have, hopefully, an overall violin feel to the aesthetics. One of these days I'll have to start a thread for that one as well!
Please do!

Yeah, that guitar was really something (and well, Jonathan is something of a player!)

I almost thought it was a Selmer-style when I first heard it, because of how present and "fat" the trebles were. You don't get that on a lot of flattops.
