I'm not sure 'pretty special' quite covers it.  Stunning.  

[bambino68]

Wow!!!! 
stunning isn’t the correct adjective to describe this!!!

Bambino spoke for me as well. I mean, yikes!

I need a towel.

For the drool! I swear!

Man, I was drooling at this one - that color is fantastic!  I had to take a look at mine (albeit Crown fret markers) with a quilt top. Now I don’t feel as bad having missed the one posted.

Well done.

[cmatthes]

That is amazing - truly.

 

Thank dog I’ve got an unreasonable aversion to 1st fret markers that aren’t straight LPC style blocks or I’d legitimately e losing sleep over this one!!

Wow!! Glad it's gone before I had a chance to consider

I hadn't known I wanted this guitar and wasn't aware it existed, but when I saw this ad earlier this week I decided to act quickly.  

 

The guitar arrived safely this evening and is in brand new condition.   Dave called it "special."  It sure is, and is equally beautiful.  Immaculate is also an apt description, and Dave's handling of the entire process sets the standard for prompt professionalism.  New strings, no fingerprints, nothing other than a perfect (ok, special) guitar.  It arrived this evening packed beautifully in a box-within-a box, cushioned to withstand the most careless baggage handler at any airport or on any truck, or any rainstorm between here and there.  

 

If you are wondering whether his other descriptions are accurate, stop.  Everything with this guitar is "as described," including the first fret inlay, which doesn't bother me a bit - sorry Chris.  I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of this transaction or with the guitar.  

 

Thanks Dave.  

Best, 

Bill
