Thanks Dan. Satin is my preferred finish although I do want to try gloss soon.

Yes, this is truly gorgeous in a stylish yet nicely understated way!

I love the satin or French rub finishes of the Irish guitars and wish more American luthiers would offer. But us Americans love our big glossy everything. I prefer not to rub off fingerprints daily and the softer finishes are practical with care and allow for better sound.

If this was for sale used in the US I would buy today, but new with the current exchange rate and overseas shipping puts it over the top for me. Look at my guitars and you'll note I'm a used guitar guy.

I would truly love to hear a sound clip of your fine build, if you could!

Thanks for the kind words JD. I hope to have a couple of my guitars available in the US early next year.
