Beautiful guitar. It's great to hear that you got exactly what you wanted in terms of aesthetics -- AND that the sound blew you away also.

Congratulations and thanks for posting photos. Red Gum is a new one on me and it looks gorgeous.

Wow! I toured their web site, I would like to try a Brook parlor size someday. Congratulations on a gorgeous guitar, and thanks for introducing me to a manufacturer I need to watch for.

The subject line was tempting cause of the movie, just could not resist. I should go work in commerce 😀
And yes it is a beauty and is for life

That is a beautiful guitar. I have never heard of Red Gum for guitar construction. Looks great, though.

Sound is to compare with Indian Rosewood, was new for me too and i ordered it without knowing how it would sound but Brook told me to trust their craftmanship and so i did. 👍😀

Beautiful guitar and trust you are inspired when you are playing it

I picked my third Brook last summer, love their guitars and great people too.

Absolutely gorgeous. Never seen red gum, if it sounds as good as it looks, you have a real winner there.
