My compliments...VERY nice!

Here is mine...it is the Ladder Braced Concert model and it sounds fantastic. This is the only guitar I have that I can fingerpick while my friend is strumming his dread....and it can be easily heard. It just seems to occupy a different sonic space than the strummed dread. (Well .....and it is pretty loud too! )

Beautiful Nod, what string spacing did you choose?

Very nice! Have you tried the K&K passive rig? I've got this pickup in my Edwinson Falcon guitar and I'm very happy with the sound... and I like not having to mess with batteries.

I was not familiar with John How Guitars (I'm not as much of a connoisseur as many of you are) but man...cue the GAS! I love the look of his guitars and from the videos he has on his site, they have a great tone for such small body guitars. I've always lusted after a nice parlor or something similar but I feel like every one I hear doesn't have a very good tone. His seem to be really and full. Thanks for turning me on to these. Maybe in years from now I might have the chance to call one my own.
