Looks amazing Eric congratulations!
Mine will be along these lines, delivery planned end of next year.
Any chance we get sound clips? A comparison between your 3 Kostals would be a real treat!

Cheers,
Tom

Congrats on a beautiful guitar! That incredible rosette has me re-considering the rosette I had in mind for my upcoming Kostal build mid part of next year.

Happy New Year.

I've had the house full during the holidays and also for the big one year Korean Dol celebration for my daughter. Haven't had too much time for guitars!

This MDW is pretty incredible. The tone is simply breathtaking and extremely open and super resonant. I'm looking forward to sharing comparison pics and videos soon when things calm down!

Some outside pics!

Beautiful instrument Eric! I especially like the colors in that rosette...maybe my favorite Kostal rosette to date. ENJOY!
