Day-um, that's looking deadly! Not long now. I don't believe I've ever heard another walnut Beneteau aside from the OM I had, so it'll be really interesting to hear this.

I think initially I’ll be putting some light EJ16s on it to play in standard... then maybe some medium Nickel Bronze. Part of the reason I ordered this was to be a stage mate to my Model M which is used for standard tuning and DADGAD songs. Since this has a long scale I’ll be using it for DGCFAD (whole-step down standard) and the CGCFGC (dadgad tuned down a whole step), my guess is with mediums on it will come alive and blow anyone on the other side of the sound hole out of the water

I heard a cedar/walnut OM of his and it sounded gorgeous!

Congrats Dustin! I can't wait to see and hear it. I love Marc's understated elegance and how he lets the natural beauty of the wood show. Your build looks awesome!

Hmm that’s a good theory.

He’s sent me other photos of the rosette and man, some of the most beautiful spalted maple I’ve seen. I agree that just the woods and his finish style work so well together.

He said I’d definitely have it before my birthday which is July 20 so now the wait is in full force on me.....I just can’t wait to hold it and take photographs just as much as play the darn thing!

That is beautiful, looking forward to seeing the final product. I’ve always been a fan of Marc’s guitars.

I agree! The natural, visual aspects of his guitars always “pop” in a way that I like, takes you by surprise when you look at the little details.
