I will be glued to this thread! Haha. Unfortunately the pics of my two earlier Round Peaks were hijacked by Photobucket, along with so many here! Sigh...

Folks, John is much too humble to toot his own horn much at all. Consequently here is a list of some of his STANDARD features:

Adirondack braces, hand scalloped for each instruments max tone.

Hide glue on all the parts that make a difference in tone.

Super strong and rigid laminated neck with serious carbon fiber reinforcement from end to end.

Headstock backstrap and ducktail volute.

Super hard Jescar Gold Color EVO frets

Superthin and resonant finish by a serious master finish specialist! Thank You Tony!!!

Lovely smelling super light cedar linings. No moths in your axe...

Some kind of SPECIAL PIXIE DUST that enhances tone and volume.

Well, not sure about the pixie dust.

And one of my fave things about John is he is not interested in re-doing the same thing. Not even on headstocks or bridges. He is always aiming for just a bit better tone, ergonomics and playability. That works for me!

Thanks John! You are a fun guy too!

Cheers

Paul
