and I ain't talkin' ribs!!! :)

Ups delivered my Custom-Custom Balladeer this AM. Removed cased guitar from shipping box to inspect for damage but will not open case until I get home from work. The clock watching begins. I suspect this will be one of the longest afternoons of my life!

Expect report tonight and possibly even a few pics if I can figure that out.

Tick, tick, tick, tock....

With anticipation and ainxt(SP),

Well let me just say my old/new guitar sounds freaking awesome!!! I'll try some pics, as promised. They are not very good, but best I'm set up to do right now.

I did a copy/ paste of the link and it worked. Man, what a beautiful guitar! Love the natural finish and the abalone trim.

Too many [ img ]'s and it's persnickety about spaces. I always have to play around with it a bit when I post pictures too. Eventually I get it to work.

mntnbikerfred, Lanaki, thanks. I think so too. Man she's been a long time away from home.

I was concerned about the tone/sound as was waiting her return, but I'll tell she is unbelievable. And does she ever ring. I've fallen in love all over again!

Moody, I spec'd the scalloped bracing, and after reading all great things said about the "A" bracing, I was apprehensive of how it would turn out. No need. It sounds incredible...way beyond what I hoped for. I was anticipating at least several years to get close to what I got. I'm very pleased and impressed by what the Mothership can do. Almost unbelievable!
