Thanks Godfather!!! You have followed along on this entire thread, and I do appreciate your good vibes a LOT
Sent John an email just now that I edited just slightly for here: Hey John Just want you to know! This AWESOME INSTRUMENT has knocked my socks off. Played it on and off all day. With and without my thumb and finger picks. Unbelievably rich and fat, both loud with the picks, and at low volume with bare flesh and occasional nails!!! Sheesh And it is stunningly beautiful. AND By far the most comfortable guitar ever. Perfectly balanced. If I did not want to stand, I would skip a strap at times... The Custom neck carve we dialed in is now the best ever. Of any guitar I have EVER played. We are COOKIN' with gas. Copying this to put up on AGF. You RULE I am almost worthy. Hahaha. Thank you for your artistry, skill, dedication and good humor! Send your pics for Phebe while she is upright! She will be 101 on 7/26/21. Get those paintings while you can!!! Be Smart, Stay Well, Have FUN Paul

I FINALLY changed the strings on this BEAST today. The big E (which I always tune to D) finally was going dead. Since I have had no gigs I have no worries about broken strings at gigs! Hahaha
Off with the dAddarios and on with my preferred Elixir HD PB Lights. Woohoo she woke up roaring. Also used a tiny dab of Tim McKnights Fretboard spa goo... it took a bit to sink in but I massaged it with finger tips and warmed gently with a hair dryer and it soaked in great in about four hours and now feels and looks even more luxurious... Thanks John! Salud Paul

Beautiful instrument. I watched the video and I think I heard Al refer to the b/s as ABW but the first page calls this reclaimed Brazilian with the orange streaking giving it some unique to braz characteristic. Either way it sounded deep and warm. Love the bass response!

The bass is stupendous yet the whole axe is still superbly balanced. Both the trebles and mids are nice and FAT. She goes to my tech Pat Quinn today for one of his super duper BIG flamenco style clear, thin, and super hard pick guards. They do a great job of protecting the top and I can not hear a difference in tone with the four he has done for me so far. Play on and tune up often Paul
