I have to apologize to my AGF friends for lying. January 2011, I said that my last commission (final) would be the Brazilian/German Modified Dreadnought guitar with wedge.
I can say my last commission (previous guitar) was the Kostal and I wouldn't be lying
I initially posted that thread in excitement of my guitar and also because I was entering a new stage in my life. I ordered the Kostal in Dec 2010, started the thread in 2011, and thought it really would be my last commission.
Why you ask? I was able to marry my best friend and begin a brand new life with my beautiful bride!
So thinking that life would come with a few changes, the guitar lover in me could not commission anymore!
So what has happened in the last 2 years? As shared in the previous story, I was able to visit the Somogyi shop and picked various sets of wood, tap them with Jason, and share the full build with you here. If you want to take a look at the Somogyi shop again and see the previous Kostal build, you can find it here:

As I really hoped, when the guitar was delivered at Woodstock last year,
I fell in love with the guitar and it was everything I wanted. Although I knew I was in the honeymoon phase, I put down a deposit on another! I knew that if I changed my mind, I could always sell my spot down the road. But after a year of having the guitar, and still being on the honeymoon, its time for this new Kostal thread!
A quick one year review here:

Some of you have seen my Ryan for sale in the classifieds. It is a very special guitar for me because I played it in my wedding:
After talking with my wife some more, she knew how much I wanted another Kostal and said she'd be fine with the Ryan leaving, but I couldn't sell the guitar I woo'd her with
More news will be coming, but I wanted to invite you on another journey in my guitar adventure!
stay tuned.....
