I can't wait to see Ben demo this! It's so gorgeous, and it's bound to sound the same. Also, his videos are just fun to watch - I'll bet his live shows are a gas.

OK- this is so beautiful I'm reposting a photo so folks can be tempted to scroll back and find the rest! Being able to do this is worth the bit of hassle it took to learn how to post photos
 What a gorgeous guitar, Tom (and Ben)! beth

As Stan alluded to above, Ben is a professional singer, songwriter, and musician who has chosen a lifestyle of making guitars and being a family guy as well. You will all have a chance to see him in person and watch him play at an event I am planning. This is my first public mention of the event which will be at my home and includes a one hour set with Frog and Toad (Ben and his playing partner, Brad Jones) among many other things. You will also get a chance to play this guitar along with many others (tease...Kostals, Sexauers, Kinnairds, Edwinson's, Two Hand Guitar Co.) , just watch for an announcement in the event section of the forum in the next week or two. You can PM now if you want further information sooner than that. Thanks all and Stan and Beth. Tom

The wait for the "paint to dry" is over. Ben did a little buff and shine today. I could say a lot of things here, but I know how I feel, I will let the pictures do the talking for me...OK, I will say one word...no, I can't say one word...nothing I can think of is good enough:
