Thanks everyone for all the kind words and for following this thread, this has been one of the greatest experiences of my life putting this creation together with Marc and I can say its everything I hoped for and MUCH more. He knocked it out of the park. I will be ordering from Marc again, for certain.
Here is a video from today at my favorite studio in VA... zero EQ or effects, just a pure sound. Enjoy and play on!
