We're getting close. The 10 will be similar to the X7 thin-bodied electric; a bit larger in the bouts, standard scale, Graphtech pickup. I was going with the royal ebony (as with the 7), but given the ravishing choice of veneers at Alistair's shop I've left the choice to him. Not only am I getting a cool guitar, I am getting a surprise.

But no, I'm not impatiently waiting. Just taking my time, no hurry, it's all good, not anxious at all, that is not sweat on my forehead, and I am not sitting on my porch awaiting the postman.
