Great Choice!
What a great choice! I have a 2006 Engelmann/BRW Grand Auditorium from Kent (#31) and it is absolutely a joy to play and listen to. I've had the guitar for three years and it continues to inspire and mature. Kent's stash of older Engelmann is absolutely superb. Kent continues to advance his designs and skills, so with the addition of his carbon fiber bracing and elevated fretboard your guitar should be even more stunning. Kent built a concert size Redwood/Ziricote for me a year ago, and the tone is amazingly lush and balanced, and the workmanship stellar. His concert model is a real winner. So congrats to you.
It will be fun to see how the two guitars compare in sound; I'm confident they will both be wonderful! I'll be following the build thread with great interest.
Best,
W. D.
