Thanks Brad!

There is one chord that sounds very wrong in that recording -- but there were also some cool licks that came out of nowhere so I decided to keep it.

It has been a great experience working with Ray on this build. The guitar feels great -- and that scooped inlay in the fretboard turns out to be a key visual feature of the guitar.

I think I heard it, somewhere around 2/3 through the song? Either way, that is a gorgeous piece, I've left the window open and listened to it a few times and I'm sure I'll return for a few more.

Well done!

Well, I guess that's at least two rough spots... LOL

Just before the closing lick, I got lost for a split second and forgot what key I was in...

Thank you so much for listening to my music.

I won't do this very often -- but I actually played my Kraut OM with a pick tonight and it sounded too good not to post a quick recording.

Here's a bit of strumming, three chords, as per my usual standards:

I won't repeat the experience too often as despite my controlled strumming, accidents do happen and I have other guitars for this task...

That sounds really killer. That sounds huge through my headphones. I'm gonna play this one through the stereo tonight.

Taking pictures of glossy rosewood is always tricky but on a Sunday morning I gathered enough patience to take a few shots of the back and sides.
