Gonna be a treat to watch a Lowlander in process. Haven't been many built, in my recollection, over the years, and certainly not with an AGF build thread (tho I do recall playing one up in the loft). Cool-looking guitar body! So glad you had the chance to visit with Tim and Mary and enter the mystical wood room to tap your German spruce. That alone is worth a "flight" to Morral! And, if you don't mind me piling on Todd and Neil (football scrum!), the McKnights are also two of my favorite people.
Hope you enjoy watching the build, Eire. Yes, just spending time holding, tapping, and listening to all those top-shelf tone woods is a rare treat that few guitarists will ever experience. It really helps you understand what the different woods have to offer. Knowing that I have already handled and listened to the tone woods on my future McKnight really enriches the whole design and build process. And meeting Tim and Mary and enjoying their hospitality was a real treat, too!
