Tom;

This is the point where Alistair is in complete control. He knows what I'd like; he knows what is possible. I'm resting now, having done my part. I hope he can do the cream-matching, but black back/sides would be OK. Cream would be the most unusual and, I think, the most striking. But that might not be doable. Whatever.

Played this morning, using my RS nylon Parlor, with a player using a Fender Strat. Two hours--really sweet. Somewhere down life's highway Alistair will remind me that we are making a guitar.
