I think someone said it earlier, but it's absolutely stunning. Thought that upon seeing it, and was not surprised to see a confirmation of that opinion.

Really love the close-ups of the wood and appointments. You get a big +1 on your scoresheet for this one. As they say locally, 'wickid pissah'.

Will make an educated guess that you will be only playing this one for the next 2 weeks, unless you get bitten by a 12 string along the way.

Wow! Can a guitar be more beautiful than that. To me some guitars have too much bling but yours, OMG just spectacular looking. Post a song, I’d love to hear it.

Beautiful instrument. Have always loved H&D guitar at the NAMM show, but never had the honor to own one.

Awesome Bruce... what a find! I have never seen or heard of an H & D Jumbo before today. Lovely instrument.... I noticed on the sales tag that it is a “Custom”. If you haven’t already... maybe contact H&D and find out what kind of goodies might be lurking under the hood too?
Congratulations... Jumbo size!

That's a beauty . . . seems to have made it a long way from home -- home to H&D and my home state of Virginia. Enjoy -- play it in good health.

Kerbie.. I dont know if you'll see this or not, I'm kind of perusing on mobile and not sure if this is an older thread, but your comment piqued my interest enough to ask:

You state that one of the two finest companies you've dealt with is H&D.....what is the other one?

(If I know you at all just from your posts around these parts, I'd put my money on the company down here near me in Austin TX, but you never know )

Also, belated congrats to you Bruce on the H&D.. upon further consideration I KNOW this has to be an outdated thread bc I've seen this jumbo around a few different times now posting with your Epi. I've been known to resurrect older. The pics of that HD just popped up on my phone and really just made me want a maple guitar pretty badly.

Anyway thanks for sharing
Scott
