Froggy SJ
I am very excited as I too have my first commisioned guitar on order with Mike Millard at Froggy Bottom Guitars.I had a dream come true a couple months back when I purchased a '97 mint Froggy dreadnaught..but..I had some brazilian on hand and so I sent to Mr. Mike and he said 5A+. So I ordered and he hopes to begin soon.I explained to Mike I had just bought the dread but would be needing to sell it to finance the SJ.I have tried to do that but there are no buyers for it.So I sold a couple Martins instead.Mike says he hopes to send pictures of the building of the SJ and if he does,I will share them here.It will his standard package (although I wish I could afford a few more goodies) with adirondak top/brazilian back and sides/maple trim/waverly tuners and blue paua rosette and backstrip.His website shows him playing an SJ (sold) and that tobacco burst looks nice. Best to all for Happy Holidays.

Don't even want to know where you came across the braz.........just want to know if you have any more.

Jake,
Sounds like a great plan - this should be a very nice guitar. Any pics of the set of BRAZ you are using? Good Luck!
