Not long ago I thought I was hanging up my building hat. Not much spare time these days. Luckily, I was able to steal enough spare time to make this one. It just took a full year+.... laughing6-hehe I guess that's my new standard timeline for completing an instrument.

Anyway, it's a Koa and German Spruce Auditorium model with fanned frets, armrest, elevated neck, access port, and a bunch of funny shaped and placed holes.

That was time well spent, Chris! Gorgeous guitar with so many great details. Nice choice on the koa, too.

I was thinking close to those numbers for my next multi scale.
