I have it on a wall filled with guitars, and i must say it stands out! Ill keep you updated have a nice day! ��
That is absolutely gorgeous!

I think it's really going to be well worth the wait...

Just to let you know, your guitar has just made its way to finishing.
It looks stunning. I cant wait to see it with all the hardware on it. Ill get you some photos then (hopefully in the coming days)!

Kind Regards,
Simon McGavigan

Don't think I can hold my breath for a couple of days :-)

Very excited for you and for the rest of us looking forward to seeing another with the satin finish!
