I had a brief chance to get intimate with Coke's guitar today. A nice bass response is a given for Leo's work, but the mids and trebles were gorgeous, clear, and fat. I didn't have my fingerpicks, so I felt a bit like a de-clawed cat, but I could tell this guitar has the goods in a major way.

No apologies required, mr zero. (There can never be too many pictures of Leo's work, right folks?)

Like me, you probably keep your guitars in their case when not in use. If so, you may want to consider making an exception for this one and leave it out on its stand. That's some serious eye candy!

Thanks all.

Yes, I'm truly loving the guitar. I do stare at it and marvel at the craftmanship. Love the details of the guitar. Too bad it's in a hand of an wannabe player, but I try. I'm glad Tim Ferrell was able to play it!

I'll post something after the Woodstock Invitational. It's going for a tour with Leo.

Lot of work going in and out of the guitar case! I have a dog and even more energetic 7 year old, so no way I'm going to keep it out!
