Thanks so much. This is my first real closeup view with the lacquer bringing out the grain of the leaves, and I can see now the efforts Jimmi went through to intersperse the range of fall colors. I'm hoping that little details such as the back and forth over the binding "stack" (
Thread #80) will reinforce and support the quality of the work she's done here.

I'm totally with you on the former, and you lost me on the latter. My playing is not going to keep up with this guitar on either looks or tone! But it
will motivate me to get better....

That's such a great anecdote - and excites me all the more. In all the back and forth we were pretty certain I wanted to go Swiss Moon, putting the hype aside I love Spruce topped guitars. Knowing that Michael has paired a top he has confidence in with a back and sides that he feels good about is sort of the first rule of custom build, in a sense: pick a luthier you trust, and then trust your luthier.
