Hi Andre,
So nice to hear from you!

I have no doubt the guitar will be a delightful distraction from current events, but until there is a well tested & proven vaccine, I'll be wearing my mask, and wary of those who ain't.

.....and we still haven't been able to actually hold our grandson, Emerson Lentini, who was born on Easter Sunday. The kids, as I told you, are in Toronto, so we're just waiting for them to open the borders!

I will let the guitar distract me as much as possible, though.......I'm no fool:-)

Best,
Howard

Thanks, Howard! I'll have to wait a few weeks. COVID apparently hit me harder than average because my immune system is compromised with cancer.

I promise to remain sassy!

I'm glad you're well, Howard. This is certainly a rough time. It's a good time to have a project like this and keep your mind focused on something you look forward to. It's gonna be GREAT!

Default Happy Birthday, Indeed!!
I'll let the pictures talk for the moment...........It already sounds GREAT within 2 hours of being strung up, but no surprise there......







I'll try to post the little iphone video my wife shot in a bit........

I'm in heaven!

Howard

That is one fine looking guitar. And, it matches your hat!

It’s a deal!

GREAT sunburst on your guitar, by the way! I noticed you asked, and then I saw a squirrel....:-)

Fantastic, Howard! The guitar could not be in more talented hands.

One question: does John build a version without a capo not permanently attached?

Classy guitar for an even classier guy.
Hearty Congrats Howard. You are deserving of this beauty, and not just because of the Covid hardship you had to get through, but for the great music that lies ahead.
Enjoy! It's a true beauty.
