Still very cool. But: look at that floor! #1) it’s clean; #2) it’s BLUE
I guess I’ve never seen the panoramic view of Ben’s shop, but seriously, how nice is the floor? It’s restful on the eyes...it’s elegant like that cloth...it’s easy to find pearl pieces that fall on the floor...etc.
I dunno, maybe I’ve been inhaling too many lacquer fumes today, but Ben’s floor really floors me.

Super sharp worksmanship (is that even a word?) and superb materials, what a combo.

I also read through the WarHorse thread, Ben’s enthusiasm in that video is as heartwarming as it is contagious.

Some of the most outstanding woods I've seen in a long time - and obviously an innovative design.

Pretty cool...

When I first commissioned with Ben I never envisioned a build with unique figure all the way around and yet am thrilled with what we ended up with. A guitar with very little bling that is still eye-catching all over.

Thanks, CigarFan! I got a teaser email from Ben yesterday that it is strung up and making music and that a demo is coming soon!
