Thanks, I agree John. I'm really glad I did that.

Tim, That is a sweet looking guitar. Beautiful craftsmanship. How does it sound?

So far, I would say the sound is between a Rosewood and Mahogany. Don't know when I'll get a chance to hear it again. I was surprised at the sound. Even my wife, who is now starting to be able to tell the differences between the woods, commented on it and I told her I was thinking the same thing. I wouldn't mind at all being able to repeat that sound but who knows how it might turn out.
