I'm getting my excuses in early, but I can only blame myself. I did give him a pre-vetted list to choose from.

Waiting seems to be the hardest part
I got a brief update earlier today to say that everything's going to plan in the spray room which was lovely to hear. I have to say that I've found the waiting through this stage to be the hardest wait because it's so close, and yet not close enough.
The one thing that has made me laugh is that I've had several dreams about collecting it and they've all been highly stressful. In the first one, I went up to collect it and it was just a terrible guitar - nothing like any of the ones I'd played, completely dead. I was just gutted. And I could not work out how to break it to Rory because I knew he'd be gutted too. In the second one the guitar was terrible again and then, just as I was about to talk to Rory about it, it miraculously became amazing! The third one was my favourite so far. Something had gone wrong in the finishing so he just decided to dye it red! And then he couldn't work out why I was upset. I had another one last night, and the world and his dog had all had a chance to play it before I did so it was well worn by the time it got to me. I really think it will be a relief when it's done.

 I’m sure they won’t come true, your guitar will be superb. Really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

The two dreams I’ve had about receiving mine has been wonderful and I was playing things on it which I couldn’t play in real life haha...hope you have a few of those. Got to play the DS8 at Cedar Rock again the other day and it just completely blew everything else I had played away...by a wide margin. I can’t describe how excited I am to receive mine in December.

Martin Simpson's Adirondack and ABW guitar blew my mind - it was just so good. I came VERY close to ordering a replica. I've never heard one of Rory's with EIR back and sides so I can't wait to hear how mine stacks up. I'd have happily lived with any of the guitars I've had in my hands over the last two years though so I'm sure I'll be a happy customer. And then I can find other things to have stressful dreams about.

I’m shocked that that guitar is still available for purchase (assuming that it is.)
