Wow! A short chapter, maybe. Beautiful work, but it ain't quite a production item. Of course, by the time the book comes out . . . .

Did it arrive yet, Andy?

Waiting on even more pics!

Not yet, Joey! And I need to get out of here to get to NYC. Any minute now, any minute!

Wow, very cool, Andy!

Any particular reason for choosing the 30" scale length?

Can Paul make RI 4002s also? *files for huge loan*

Thanks, Paul! That question will have to answered by PW as most, if not all of the build specs/ design came from him although we took a serious look at my Guild B50.

Because of an event I had last night I had little time with her, but my first impression is, she's very light and well balanced. The sound qualities are very strong, meaning loud and projects well and the tone is quite focused. You can feel the note when you playing - that's important! The bass as flats on it as oppose to the typical bronze strings found on your ordinary ABG

Thanks for the info, Andy.

Sir Curmudgeon, please chime in.

I don't have bronze strings on my ABG's either, just plain nickel rounds which last longer and sound punchier.

I wish I could join you there in my home town!

I'd be in line for one with you!

Andy, try TI Acousticore strings, they are amazing on my Rick Turner. They are quite different than other bronzewound strings, having nylon cores.
