Great experience, I am pleased the shipping seemed to go off without a hitch and was fast.

I will be excited to see and hear this if you bring it to B.I.G. this fall.

Mr. Aboudib himself will be there also for anyone interested in trying out his guitars.

Congrats Doug! Looks to have exceeded already lofty expectations. Well done Michel executing your vision. Holla when your fingers get tired and I can help break her in! :-))

Super happy for ya Doug! It looks killer for sure. With all the gorgeous guitars you have, I'm sure it's tough to decide which one to play!?!? Good problem to have .

Default Michel Aboudib Italian Spruce - Bois de Rose Mod D

Dave, Kevin, Bill, Dr356, Mike A., Mike B, Tom Dennis, Rich, Ron and Dan -my thanks to everyone who looked in or chimed in to share some of my NGD joy!

Michel shipped my guitar in a nice light weight Hiscox Pro II case. Here at home, I had a Hoffee case awaiting the arrival of this special Mod D.

Below are some outdoor pictures I took of the Aboudib Mod D:







In the sunlight you can really see all the different colors in the Bois de Rose back.

What a stunning guitar! The Bois de Rose is gorgeous and the carved rosette is masterfully done. Thank you for sharing the build with us!

Congrats on your gorgeous new piece of visual and sonic art Doug!

I’m certain the honeymoon will go on indefinitely…..

I look forward to coming over and seeing and playing it…..although I’ll be nervous about touching it….

See you soon my friend!
