My New Shorty Arrived!
My Limited Edition concert Shorty arrived! I LOVE this guitar! So much more comfy to play than the WS1000 I sold to fund it.
I do have a question though. Is it usual in these guitars to see a faint out line on the top that goes around in the shape of the top? It's really obvious and everyone who has seen it has remarked on it. I am about to leave, with the Shorty, for Swannanoa Giotar Week in NC, and don't have time to post any pics. Just thought someone here might know about this. Otherwise it's just a gorgeous guitar and sounds phenomenal! What with packing for the trip and work, I haven't had a lot of quality time with it yet but I can tell already that I'm going to enjoy the Shorty! It fits beautifully in my Mono case too. :-) Jody

All the CO, Unidirectional tops have that line that circles the top. Its where the top meets the acoustic layering I believe. Bottom line its normal.

Thanks!!!!
So sorry for my delay in thanking everyone for the top info. Glad to know it's to be expected.
I've had my Shorty a few weeks now, and it went with me to the Swannanoa Gathering Guitar Week in Asheville, NC. SO comfortable to play, easy to carry along, and it sure attracted a lots of interest from everyone who saw it. I'm posting a few pics, including the mock-up of the TRC that I'm having made for it. Sorry I'm not the best photographer and the pics sure don't do this guitar justice. So glad I got the Shorty!
