This AGF family is a clear example, and Tom, your contribution to our little (B.I.G.) guitar world is very much appreciated.

Thank you for your very kind words and B.I.G. really is a personification of all of the above I think, at least that is one of the goals.

Aw shucks, thanks Tom. Especially since it has such outstanding peers!

Happy New Year!

It does have some nice peers, but they all peer at it in envy!

Tom, this guitar turned out awesome! I love that you went with the asymmetrical set of Brazilian Rosewood. It is a truly unique and special guitar and it sounds wonderful. I hope to get to see it and play it in September. Congratulations!

I pretty much stayed out of this thread because I didn't know how to field all the incredibly nice things that were being said. I blush to read it all. So I will just say thank you to everyone who posted, or just looked on from the wings. And an extra big thank you to Tom, who has been such an outstanding client, patron and friend. Thank you for the commission and for doing this thread. This was a really enjoyable and meaningful journey, and of course nothing could be finer for me than to have a happy guitarist at the end of the trail. Happy New Year, all.

[Aspiring]

Congrats Tom and Ben beautiful guitar and an even better story to go with it.

The Nautilus I played at the first B.I.G. I attended blew me away I'm sure they have only gone forward from there.

Many congrats, Tom!
