NGD - Ben Wilborn EllieBelle
With the many luthier show cancellations that have recently occurred, I am among those who purchased a guitar that had been built for those shows.
After some difficulty with USPS, I received my new EllieBelle from Ben Wilborn this morning. Beautiful Lutz spruce over deep BRW back/sides with moderate embellishments. Very nice details and elegantly done. Great tone and impressive volume and I am sure that will improve even more with some playing and breaking in.

Congrats!!! I was fortunate enough to be able to play this guitar when it was brand new--I have no doubt it will continue to get better with age because it sounded great right out of the gate!
I love my EllieBelle and know you'll love yours--welcome to the Wilborn family!

Thanks to all for the kind words. Just getting started with this guitar but enjoying the journey. Fingertips are a bit tender though as I have had a tough time not playing it each time I walk by.
