What a gorgeous guitar this is turning out to be! I love this new design and you've chosen stunning woods! And I know that Ben's guitars are built to be played and the tone will be something... Wow!! Maybe I can drive to Texas with the golden retriever and we can sleep in my car and sneak into BIG... Texas dreamin' here...

You do that Beth and I promise we will find a bed for you in the house with us!!!! LOL!!! You can have the room and we will fill it with guitars for you!

I just read your response to my husband he said "oh God..." I asked if your offer scared him and he said "uh huh." Oh the travails of having your significant other be into guitars!

But you never know- Kira (the golden retriever) and I may show up on your doorstep!

LOL, yes re-reading that, I might have worded that better, in the house with us, referring to a room in the house, but not one with us LOL....oh boy I would be in big (pun intended) trouble if I had told Kathy about that arrangement. She is all in on B.I.G., but that might have crossed the line HAHAHAHAHA!

Thanks Mike! Should be all set for you to give her a go in a few weeks.


I forced Ben to send me some quick pics after the first round of shiny stuff being applied. I don't think it hurt anything in regards to appearances!

I am also very anxious to hear it. If Ben has time to do a video before he heads to Texas, I am sure he will, if he does though, the guitar will not be very old!
