I couldn't be more pleased with how the ES-14-40C has handled the years, Brent. It looks pretty close to Brand New, and yet I know it has been played. It is a true 99%+.
I have bent the sides and glued them onto the top and end blocks of the "Bluegrass" guitar I am building for Joe Helm. These pics are of the first two handset peone, and then of all 120 of them.
