Thanks everyone for the kind words. The guitar was delivered to a very happy client this weekend. This was one of those guitars that was hard to let go out the door.

Before it left, I had a local player come over and record a demo. Initially, it was extremely bright, but even 2 weeks in, the bass has really become more pronounced and rounded out.

Throw on some over-ear headphones and give it a listen:

Love the tailpiece too. Those are seriously tight joints in the binding. Never thought of doing a build exclusive to American woods. Well done!

I like that! Lot of work on the details. That was a labor intensive build.

Congrats!

Beauty, Chris. I'm a big fan of domestic woods, I've used them a lot. We should all be using more, there's lots of potential.
