Well, it looks like Ray will probably start working on my guitar sometime around early August, which is more or less right when he said he'd start. He's convinced me to move away from the Portuguese Cork/Italian Granite combo because of the limitations of those materials . . . go figure.
Things I'm a certain of:
1. Definitely a Mod D
2. Definitely a cutaway and Manzer wedge
3. Pinless bridge
Things I'm 90% certain of:
1. Multi-scale with a 25.25" to 26.00" spread, optimized for lights
2. Euro spruce top of some denomination
3. Most likely black ebony back and sides
4. Sound port
Things I am 50% certain of:
1. That it may debut (yes, before my grubby little hands have even mucked up the finish) at Woodstock
Things I have no idea about:
1. How it will look (other than the assumption that it will look awesome)
2. If it will smell more like cotton candy or cigar smoke
3. If we live in one of a (perhaps infinite) number of parallel universes
a. corollary - If #3 is true, is it then also possible that I am already playing my Kraut in another one of those universes?
b. corollary - If "a" is true, how do I get to that other universe?
