Small details all over the place that made this apparent to me. I got in touch with him and he was generous with information. If I were doing another build he would be at the top of my list.

"Exuberant" is a great way to describe Nick's guitars! They really feel alive in your hands and eager to play! Nick is quite an amazing builder. As you say, constantly tinkering, experimenting. Each guitar he builds is something special.
