I too like it!!! It does look like a bunch of different connect the dot holes (and I mean that in a nice way). Very unique looking. I've never seen a back like that.

A good Dreadnaught has to do at least 20 knots even with a full salvo of 16" guns firing .

Holy cow, that is some gorgeous guitar! I love the slight burst around the edges of the top. It is a very classy instument.
