Default NGD - Halcyon 14 fret OM
just got it delivered to me at work today so I haven't had much time to play with it but my first impressions are: very responsive, lightly built, very well constructed and a steal at the prices he's selling them for even after the price change!!!!! I'll post more pics and a sound clip later this weekend but here's my pics or it didn't happen post!!!!

Wow! A beautiful guitar, and a steal of a price for what they are offering!

Happy NGD!

Congrats! My OM started off sounding great but really changed for the better over the first 6 months. I'm curious about the #30 serial number - I had #38 which was built quite a whole ago. Has Ed changed to using serial numbers specific to each body shape? I.e. the 30th OM?

It looks great. Glad to hear you finally got it.
I think we need more photos!
Let's see the back and some detail on the binding, if possible.

Gotcha. Must be even more satisfying with the delayed gratification then. Congrats!

Congrats!!! What a great review. I too contemplated getting one of Ed's guitars. I take it you bought it without ever playing a Halcyon before?
