Mountain;

A hearty congratulations! What a fabulous opportunity to design exactly what you want. As Eats points out, go for the limit.

Have you decided upon a pickup? I've really liked the active Barbera on my nylons, but you have lots of options.

I look forward to future reports on the development of your new instrument. I'd take my time since there are a number of people on this forum who are fonts of info. Cecil has had a number of nylons and Tom 2 is incredibly well-informed. And of course, Alistair will keep you on track for the best possible instrument.

Oh, and happy birthday.

Congratulations mountainmaster.
We are excited to build that dream for you and what perfect timing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
It has been great reading all the dream guitar ideas and I hope some of you will still come and visit us and have those dreams built. Everyone is welcome.
This is a difficult time for the world but music brings hope and joy.
Keep playing those guitars and sharing the dreams.
Alistair

Congratulations MM! Anything great that happens, especially on your birthday and during this particular time is better than great, it is perfect!

I think it is an amazing thing that Emerald did here, and certainly most unique.

Big congrats, MM! What an absolutely wonderful birthday gift! You have a very exciting time ahead of you.

Kudos to Emerald for conducting this draw. Although the competition was open to players well beyond this forum, it’s great that a fellow member won and that an AGF sponsor is being so generous to the guitar playing community.
