Thanks, I really like it. It's tough to beat the look of koa, so that helps.

Sounds really good Bill! Have to say, Carl Miner amazes me every time, to ad lib these songs and play something different on every demo just blows my mind.

Your guitar should do very well there, congrats!

Thanks TomB, I was very happy with this guitar, and they REALLY dug it at the North American Guitar. It is amazing to be able to play like Carl, my goal is to get that good, but I’m not sure I’ll ever get there.
