Thanks! I have a lot planned for this year and I’m feeling like I’m well stocked up to go!

Like what do they call a Chinese restaurant in China? A restaurant!

I do love the idea of using domestic woods. And yes there are lots of beautiful ones here. Have never played a guitar made of olive wood, what would be a close comparison?
