Oh... you're going to love this guitar! You picked the wood combo I want to pick if I can ever afford a guitar from Michael. He's a wonderful person to deal with and a fantastic luthier. I can't wait to see and hear how yours turns out, and being next door, I might have to sneak a peak or two!

Congrats!!!

I am as well, I hope that I can get down there to see it in progress...to get you some pictures, yea, that’s it...

I am excited for you...the more I play mine, the better it feels and sounds. People are still complementing it and like me, sometimes just staring at it...

How’s the Cornerstone doing?

Thx Mike. The Cornerstone is absolutely awesome and is really opening up nicely. I am very interested to see and hear how the two builds will compliment each other as this was the brief to Michael.

I am also looking forward to hearing comments from yourself and LarryJ when it is finished

Thx all - still some way to go but I sure am looking forward to it as well.

Michael is certainly helping by sending so many images (which I never expect from any Luthier as I know how much trouble it is, but I really appreciate it). Anyway, already recieved 66 images !!!

It certainly helps with me being so far away though.
