That is very beautiful!
But what I mean about ordering a full custom acoustic to your specs is all the side things going on as well ......endless wait and a test of patience, nerves unbelievable, confidence in the whole plan wavering in and out, delivery day!
And even though the luthier could walk past you in the supermarket, to you he is a brother, part of the family, an emotional attachment - he MADE you a guitar! Not you walking in and buying one at a shop, or clicking BUY, no, he MADE you a guitar! Special! The one you grab if the house is on fire....
