Wait, is this legal? Back-to-back NGDs?

Congratulations on both guitars, today's a bit more than yesterday's.

So what's up for tomorrow?

I agree with this comment

My dealer has some sweet custom 00 and 0 18s as well. He orders all these with Adi tops with Adi bracing 1/4” scalloped which seems to be the hot combo right now. So, I feel like I literally can’t miss. I will include them in the mix when the time comes. Thanks.

I tried both 00-18 and 000-18 when I purchased the 000-18. I'm 6' so the 000-18 was for me as well as much better tone.

Beautiful guitar congrats! Here's what you can expect it to look like 46 years from now. I've had mine since high school.

Congrats! Sounds like you did the right thing by playing a bunch of 000-18s until you found one you liked. Do you think it's a keeper?

I hope so Dru, plays nicely following the set up although a couple of thuddy fretted notes higher up that irritate me a little, the A string at certain frets doesn’t ring out like I believe it should.

Played it quite a bit tonight, darker tone overall than the J1 but without the bottom end weight, so far so good [emoji4]
