Thanks all!

I'm at work today, and the office is closed all next week and half of the following week...so needless to say, I have some work to get finished before the end of the day tomorrow.

Still, I am making plans to go to the studio quickly to record some pics, audio, and video to post up. As strongly recommended by Edward, I will be creating a new thread with that content.

Please bear with me, I will try to hurry!

That is a beautiful guitar.  I really like that fret board design.  I like it when some guitars have no marker or design on them or maybe unusual ones like alot of the limiteds get, this one you have is one of the best.

Love it, that's a spectacular and unique piece of tonewood there. Was that a "luck of the draw", or was that hand picked?

Well, I didn't "hand pick" it per-say, but I did request that the wood be as striped and colored as possible.

And thank you!
