Dave/Juston/Barry,
Thanks for your kind words and well wishes...
Yes, engaging a luthier who has built >600 guitars over 40+ year period using > 50 year old top wood set to make a guitar is stacking the deck a bit in the client’s favor.
All is fair in guitars and war...

You're rolling out some drool-worthy build threads these days.

Definitely a custom build tjat I am going to lool forward to reading about in the weeks ahead.
