That's great, I'm sure it will come out vey well. He seems to be able to achieve what he sets out to do in terms of voicing to an impressive degree based on what I have noticed on this forum and others. Despite its very traditional looks, my own circa is voiced with a more contemporary voice but with still the power and fundamental of the vintage martin. That makes for a wonderful fusion to my ears and fingers.
