Is this sacrilege on the acoustic guitar forum?(new guitar)
Some people may see this as sacrilege on a forum for acoustic guitars but I know there are a few electric heathens out there.I am actually waiting for another acoustic which I will share with you all when it comes but in the mean time I have blown another wad of cash on this rather nice item.I have got rid of quite a few electrics and I wanted a good all rounder hence the guitar below which is a very nice Suhr Guthrie Govan.

I've got two amps a tiny old washburn practice amp which isn't so great and a Cornford combo which is great.Unfortunately the one thing I don't posses is Guthrie Govans talent but hey I keep plugging away.

Very beautiful finish. What kind of wood is it? To quote the punchline from a Cheech and Chong bit, "Ain't that a peach?"

Gorgeous - if owning one imbued the owner with Guthrie-like playing prowess, I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
That top is fantastic. Love the binding, too.

Really gorgeous. You're in the Electric folder, so definitely in the right spot to show off that beauty.
When you get a chance, run down some of the fine points for us - woods used [besides that lovely quilted maple]? contours? neck width? pickup makes / wiring? Drooling guitar nerds need to know  Congrats on a truly top of the line instrument.

Having owned a Suhr or two I can safely say that John's guitars are amazing.
Congrats - nice choice.
