Hey Travis, that thing looks fairly awesome ... what a classic looking little beauty this one turned out to be! Really showcases the Braz well - that fretboard just kinda jumps out at ya, and that pickguard looks like it was custom made for just this guitar. Have fun tomorrow!

Day 318
Not that I'm keeping track or anything...
Early Impressions: -Whoa it's light... it's a featherweight guitar, although to be fair it's actually a smaller guitar which may lend to that fact -Love the neck! It's got a perfect shape and feel for me. It's 1 3/4" but it doesn't get fat or wide up the neck- The contour is a bit beefier than a Taylor neck. The profile- I would liken it to a nice rounded C shape. -Truly a work of art... for example the side profile of the brazilian fingerboard is so grain-filled and detailed- Wood truly is beautiful! -Holding the guitar, I thought it would feel a ton smaller. But the smaller upper bought only feels marginally smaller than an OM. I like it I'm in awe so no sound critiques yet, but I must say this: Since selling my OM-28JM I've been missing that guitar daily BUT This Mayes will likely fill that void. Now my non professional shots under the tree: Nice Guardian Case with a built in hygrometer      Waverlys with Ivoroid buttons- They match the guitar perfectly. Right down to the graining in the buttons    EVEN Olsen Approves!!  Here's a size comparison with my equally loved Cornerstone SJ
