I look forward to your continuing this thread once the build begins. |
Bill,
Your BRW is spectacular. Your guitar is actually an upgrade from the model that I'm about to commission. As for "The Tree", I really wanted the abalone edging around the headstock and the fingerboard (Harvey Leach is building me a guitar with similar bling). The full vine inlay and 42 style extension took weeks of soul searching before I gave in and told Jim to go ahead...
A lot of people are much better off than I am -- but I choose to invest in the things I'm really passionate about. And if one day I'm stuck with kids and a family, I'll have plenty of guitars to go GAS-less until my old days.
As a single guy, my number one priority is my parents. We go fine dining several times a month and they travel on my dime to wherever they want whenever they want. They still work a modest job -- but they know they don't have to worry.
For the rest, I was always into cars and guitars. I live in Quebec, where cars rot in just a few years so I quit that hobby a few years ago. Guitars last much longer...
I think Jim will start the builds in just a few months so this thread won't go idle for too long. I will also post pictures of the BRW when I make a final decision (soon).
