John, that Graybeard is absolutely beautiful. Breathtaking from every angle. You've raised the bar another few notches- AGAIN. I'm really looking forward to seeing this acoustic tour de force in person. Thankfully, I still have about ten days to mentally prepare myself for being deeply humbled.
Raucous applause!

OK now. I appreciate your kind remarks but I know for a fact you are going to show up with some beautiful work.

John that looks like a phenomenal guitar! Too bad I won't be able to make it to B.I.G. this year to try it out.

Amazing work and as beautiful as it is, having played your work and owning more than one, I know it will sound just as pretty.

You Kinnairds and your waterfall bubinga....Steve made one a few years back that I always post when people want to see beautiful backs, I now have a second to add to my arsenal. Makes me wonder if you two were shopping in the same place on the same day?
