Location: Scotland | Early 45-style torch and snowflakes neck on a D28 body. Killer! I had a 12-fret triple-O like this years ago. Another guitar that I should never have sold. |

Dave bought the CW-28Bs/b
I may have to have Debanjo go look at this one if it's got a wide neck unless someone else buys it first. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Grain looks matched to me and the description claims that it matches. Not sure which pics you are looking at?
Anyway, guess we will find out next week. |

Location: CT | The sides of the top match each other, but I thought the better quality spruce had tight grain consistent throuout. This one's tight on the edge, then the grains get wider, then they tighten up again. Is that normal? My C.L. has pretty much the same width between all the grains. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | NICE! Will be interested to hear how you think this sounds vs. the 12 fret Martin. Probably both nice but different. Congrats.
