Thanks for looking, and for the positive comments I've received over the course of this thread.

Now that is some kinda special!

Print those pics so she can autograph them for you one day when she's famous!

Very nice Pete!! I think that she is beyond happy!!

Thanks again everyone!

By the way, as Tiani wanted a pickup, and on the basis of the positive comments I've read on this forum, I installed a K & K Pure Mini pickup for the first time. The guitar's amplified sound is a very close facsimile of the unamplified guitar (but louder, obviously!) and there's no hint of the dreaded piezo "quack" (which I hate with a passion!).



Tiani has a great singing voice, and I truly believe that with encouragement and appropriate assistance she can be very successful. I hope my gift of this guitar provides a little impetus towards her reaching her goals. It's certainly been a rewarding experience for both of us, and my decision to begin selling my instruments in the near future - while an exciting prospect - is tinged with some regret at the same time.
