Wow!  Absolutely beautiful.   The blue purfling just pops...great choice!

I'll wager is sounds like an angelic chorus.

Thanks!
Yes, the blue Paua Abalone Rosette and Purflings truly "pops" - never seen anything quite like it.
Guitar is very alive...Englemann is very responsive.
And the Braz...ahhhhhh ...did I say DEEP bass, THICK mids and WARM tone?  🙂

Welcome!  That's a gorgeous guitar!  Engelmann and Rosewood go together like peanut butter and jelly; Brazilian Rosewood is just better yet.

Congratulations, and enjoy!
