Thanks! I appreciate the compliment. I worked pretty long and hard on that little rascal, and took some chances I've never taken before.
It's also unusual in that it's the first guitar I've ever put together where people ask if they can play it before picking it up. Plus, I got the recognition of my peers! I can't tell you how much that means to me.
Now I gotta figure out what to do about a case. It's unusually wide in the lower bout (14") so nothing fits. It was a fairly short run production guitar, so there's almost nothing in the aftermarket for it other than half-wrecked used L5S cases, which I'm not really interested in. Of course, I could have a custom case built, but they're pretty dear. The one quote I got was $450. All the square "one size fits all" cases are too narrow.
