Dave/Juston/Barry,

Thanks for your kind words and well wishes... Yes, engaging a luthier who has built >600 guitars over 40+ year period using > 50 year old top wood set to make a guitar is stacking the deck a bit in the client’s favor.

All is fair in guitars and war...

I know that Luthier's Collection gets a fair number of them, but they aren't really in driving distance. This will be a fun one to follow. You're rolling out some drool-worthy build threads these days.

Definitely a custom build tjat I am going to lool forward to reading about in the weeks ahead.
