The guitar arrived safely and is in one piece!! Horray!! Given the number of horror stories I've heard lately about shippers, I'm SOOO happy it was handled well. John did the most incredible packing job I could have asked for. Between his packing and the Visenut case, the guitar was well protected.
I called John and minute ago to tell him how pleased I am at how the guitar turned out. I told him (and I will tell all of you) that it is probably the best one he's every built that I have played. And it's brand new so it will only get better. And for those who have wondered if this was coming to BIG....it absolutely is not lol...at least not this year because hopefully maybe I'll make it to BIG one of these years and might bring it along.
I'll give a full account of the guitar when time permits, but suffice it to say, I'm delighted.
