Further confirmation that I'm dead inside. I watched the video, enjoyed it immensely, was (and am) VERY happy for you getting something you had such a strong vision of and that reminds you so strongly of people and places you love.
But I didn't even come close to shedding a tear. I'm damaged over here!
My experience with beautiful stuff like this (guitars, bicycles with really nice ornate lugs, etc) is that I really get off on the aesthetics for a while and then after a time, I'm so focused on the activity I barely see it anymore. And yet I'm always still really glad to know it's there. I feel that way about my beautiful woody X7, which I couldn't stop looking at for the first few weeks, but now i barely see - I just play it a lot. But I'm still happy I got the woody. Because of how personal the artwork on your X7 is, you'll probably always see it, but even if it fades into the background at some point, you'll STILL be glad it's there.
So, ENJOY!
