1 piece body?

Pretty sure it's 2-piece.
The pictures don't really do it justice. It looks much better in-person, however I kind'a wish I'd spent the extra $100 for a Koa top.
Too late now.

If so, they did a helluva job on the glue line because I certainly can't see it in the grain pattern!

Looks mighty fine to me. If you can get a shot of it in some natural light I'd bet we'll get a better idea how it looks. But that torrefied swamp ash sure does take a clear finish nicely.

I saw your comment for the neck above: "PLEASE SQUARE OFF THE FRETBOARD END ON THIS NECK BUILD"

Did you have to pay an upcharge for that?
