Thank you and when you come over from the other side of the world in March, you can be first in line to give it a go. You will be the first number one in the charts artist to try it out I promise you that!

The Black Lion, all done.
Thank you all very much for your kind words! But it's my turn to say thank you- Tom, you are a great fellow to build for! Thank you for the trust, the open-mindedness, the patience, and especially for giving me the opportunity to build this little jewel of a guitar. It was fun from start to finish.
I am looking forward to B.I.G., and meeting and putting faces to all of you who are just sort of friendly boxes with words in them. I suspect you are all real, and we will have a blast at Tom's hoedown. |

I think it will be really cool for you and the Black Lion to meet up again at B.I.G. I assume it is not all that often that you send a guitar out into the world and then get to meet up again to see how it has grown up since being out on its own! I think the Woodstock Wilborn has really come out of its shell also so I hope to have that there as well for you to get you mitts on! Tom

Hey Tom,
The aesthetics are incredible! That is a gorgeous looking instrument. I understand it’s a matter of personal taste, but I find yours and Bens amazingly similar to my own. From what I can gather from the recordings, the voicing is extremely well thought out and executed. Kudos to Ben. Just superb. I would jump at the chance to hear it in person. I must also say, I don’t believe I’ve ever heard or seen a luthier demo a new build with a capo. The fact that it still sounds as wonderful as it does is mind bending. I again, would like to hear this instrument in person, without a capo. I can only imagine. Great choices, and fantastic execution. Thanks to both you and Ben for allowing me to share the experience. Mark

You and Ben did a great job. Beautiful, graceful, elegant, and sings like a chorus of angels. As for Ben...it’s truly inspiring to find a builder who is also a gifted player too. I’m really looking forward to listening to Frog and Toad at B.I.G. Joel

I could go on and on, but for now let me say, my fingers are a little sore, the guitar is really gorgeous in person, waiting for the glamour shots from Ben yet, and it has a lovely live sound, sustains like crazy, a great depth to the tone, overtones galore and none of that boxy smaller guitar sound. It has a very quick attack with immediate response. Sounds very nice with fingers and comes alive with a pick. The whole guitar vibrates when playing. I guess you could say I like it. Thanks again Ben. Yes, Joel, you and I both are looking forward to the music at B.I.G. and for those who come, this little Black Lion will be there to try out as well. Who knows, Ben may play some on it for the concert.
