Thanks so much, Jayne! I know that tap tone isn't everything, but I was captivated by it when I chose these woods. i've played a number of Ken's guitars, and they have a lush, full tone. The guitar will be finished by the end of April (maybe before). Instead of having Ken ship it, I'm going to go get it and I won't be able to pick it up until mid June. I'm in CA and Ken is in Michigan about two hours from my parents' home. When they found out I was interested in a custom guitar, they offered to pay for it. So I'm wanting them to be able to see it in person- my dad can strum a few chords on it and sing Red River Valley or Amazing Grace.... In the meantime, Ken will help it learn to be a guitar. I have a light touch and I'm a finger style player, so I think that Adi top will appreciate spending some time with Ken who is a great flat picker and can help it open up some. And he's kindly offered to do that. Maybe we can get some initial sound clips from Ken for you (and for me!)
