Thank you MBee!
Yes they are. Longer wait than I anticipated, but better than I imagined it would be at the beginning thanks Chuck! Quote:

Also... Here are a couple of "last minute" quick phone photos to show the sound port that he added and the VERY cool Koa/Ebony tuner buttons (on Gold Gotohs) that Patrick added for me as well. These two items completed this sweet package for me.

If I am not mistaken, he moved shop in the middle of this as well right? I don't know any details and don't need to, but that certainly had to affect the time table?
BTW I still have mine and it is a beauty as well and sounds out of this world.

I am Really pleased you are enjoying the guitar. It’s been great working with you. Comparing my work so favorably along side the many special guitars you have had and have had commissioned - I am humbled. Furthermore, it is always daunting, scary even, to have another luthier - especially one with such vast experience look over your work. And to give it thumbs up, I must be doing something right. I’ve got some catching up to do on the AGF so you’ll be hearing from me more often. Thanks Mike Patrick |

You are correct - We moved soon after the build started which threw all schedules out the window. And I completely underestimated the time it would take to get the shop back up and running. The family and new home came first, then me and the shop. Oh wait, remember Henry the golden retriever, he was ahead of me too. LOL. I’m glad your Koa/German spruce is treating you well. Perhaps I will see you at B.I.G sometime. Patrick |

We sure had a great time at LaConner. You and Ben are an awesome performing talent. Despite unruly luthiers in the audience, LOL - great memories. So disappointing that the 2020 show schedule was shelved. Looking forward to the Warhorse Nautilus build posts Patrick |

Absolutely stunning. A real work of working art. I just went and smashed all mine. Time to start over.

Congrats on that gorgeous guitar!!! I miss having a Koa guitar. Maybe your build will inspire me to pick Koa for my next custom build.
The rosette on your Morrissey looks a lot like the custom rosette on my Beneteau CS (yours is on top, mine is the bottom photo): Hopefully you will get many years of enjoyment from your new guitar.
