As Steve mentioned, he was kind enough to come to B.I.G. last year and I got to see and play this fantastic guitar.

First of all the BRW is unlike ANY I have every seen before and that is not hyperbole. I mean it. The green in this wood is really there and beautiful. That is a highly sought after feature and I have never seen any BRW with this degree of color.

The sound of this guitar is amazing and the sliding ports really are fun to play with to hear what opening and closing the ports due to the sound.

Someone will be getting a guitar of a lifetime with this one.

Thank you Tom!
When I brought this guitar to the B.I.G. show in March, it was still a bit of a green apple tonally, being so brand-new and unplayed. I was not totally thrilled with the sound then- just somewhat pleased- but I LOVE it now. I've kept it mostly dormant in the case to keep it in pristine condition for whoever decides to own it, but I was just amazed at how much it has opened up and gotten more expansive and articulate in the tone. Even with maybe only four or five hours of playing time on it, total... Even so, this guitar is developing a very nice voice.

Default congratulations

dear Steve,

congratulations on that piece of art.
If it were in good old germany I'd buy it for the price you have offered in it's hoffee case, but like always the tax and the customfee are a pretty sum for no contervalue.
My best wishes for your sale and for a happy christmas and a healthy new year.

I keep coming back here to look at this bump!

This was really a standout guitar both visually and tonally at BIG 2019.

Someone is going to score BIG!

LOL, well I am sorry, but I am not sorry. I hope you LOVE IT!!!! I have a lot of fine guitars, many BRW guitars, one has a hint of green in it. This guitar is just amazing in its coloration. I know people that go crazy for just a little green, wait until you see it in person! Stunning BRW!

Now, I hope you love love love it...if you do thank Steve (and maybe me for the little push), it you don't, well then, blame me.

Please give us a report when you can!

Tom
