Hey Justin,
What a beauty you have coming.... May you have many, many hours of playing bliss! John's guitars are second to none.. I know, because I have a 00-12, Beeswing Mahogany/European Spruce. Impeccably made, great projection, incredible string separation and just the right amount of overtone. Resonance for days. John's guitar will make you a better player, because it's clarity will demand it.

Congrats!

Oh, John attaches those to firecrackers and blows them up as a hobby.

The first thing I thought when I saw it was that it looked just like what Howard did. Now I know why. Very generous indeed and very attractive.

This is super impressive and will go as a matching pair to your Klepper/Schoenberg soooo well because of the overall aesthetic and specifically the binding. Super happy for you!
