Joel is still letting it settle in and has a little bit of set up to do, but I'm hoping to have it soon! As for sound clips: I was afraid you were going to ask that. My recording equipment consists of my iPad and an Apogee Mic, but we'll see if I can be as brave as you were!

I missed this post (forgot to subscribe...I think the beauty of that guitar overwhelmed me), and I'm glad to have played a small part in the design in some way. That really makes my morning. And really happy that you went with the custom bridge pins. I felt it was a tiny extra bit of money for a very nice visual addition.

I still believe this is easily one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever seen, and if yours follows my pathway, as good as it sounds now, wait a few months and you'll be even more amazed. Hope you get in a lot of time with it this weekend, and eventually post something up. I look at it this way...I feel like I'm among friends here, most far more advanced, but always welcoming and encouraging.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!

incredible guitar. Its almost like it can't be real...thats maybe the best compliment I can give it. If it sounds half as good as it looks then it is an absolute home run.

That's absolutely stunning. I love how the vine around the soundhole extends into the fretboard.
