Weird thing was, even though the guitar was almost perfect, I eventually sold it.
It was a very long build from start to finish - almost 2 years IIRC. Shortly after commissioning it I started playing classical guitar. Once it arrived I took it out of the case, marveled at it, played a bit, then put it away and went back to nylon.
It was a shame to let it sit so a year later I sold it and used the funds to buy a custom Jeremy Clark classical.
My practicality won out in the end.
The thumb scallops were great - here's a thread about them

The other weird thing is, after 5 years, I'm finally starting to listen/play steel strings again. I really think my brain needed a break from them. I can still find the high pitched "shimmer" of a steel string annoying sometimes, but much less than before.
