I saw this guitar today, it was veryyyyy nice. I didn't have a chance to play it, but if it sounds like the OM Jason had with him too (which I did play) its an awesome sounding guitar

I did get to take that guitar away to a private quiet room away from all the noise and play it for while. The craftsmanship was outstanding and the guitar was beautiful. Ray was real nice and we were able to chat for but as well. Guitar was nice and I'll post a review shortly. My wife said that after I played I had this unforgettable grin on my face. I'll explain that later!

Eric and his guitar made a visit to my house yesterday..

Breath taking guitar.. mixture of his Ryan Cathedral and Omega..

I kept asking him, how he did it?..

Bass volume is like baritone guitar he has..~
I joked that you can play this guitar as bass guitar..

I love the tone and striking pattern of Brazilian..
very easy to play~~

Some pics with Greenfield G1 and my own Omega Mj~ and lastly Eric himself with his guitar!

wow, just got back home from a long weekend. I made a pit stop to see the Greenfield above and I really have to say that my Kostal made it feel like a toy This guitar is everything I have hoped for and possibly THE BEST guitar I've ever played (even better than the Somogyi I fell in love with last year). How good can this guitar be? Good enough for me to already be thinking about selling off my entire collection to buy another or two! yes, THAT GOOD! but a more in depth review coming shortly!

some quick pics for the end of a long weekend

pulling up to the woodstock show:



Jason holding the guitar ready to hand it to me....



He's thinking, man, what a back! I'm gonna hate giving this one up!





more coming tomorrow when I catch up on some sleep

Eric I'm delighted that this guitar has met, and indeed exceeded your expectations. I had a feeling it might! I hope that at some point our Mod-D's will meet.
