Man, I am suffering! So I figgered that I would share the boredom/stress/longing with y'all.
I will try to wait til four-ish (PST) before I even think about cracking the case to check.
I would really suck if I damaged it just cuz I am an antsy ADHD type of person...
But this is killing me...

Location: Boise, Idaho | Mine came just before Christmas and I decided to make it my Christmas present. After a warm up period, I even asked my daughter to inspect it for damage, so I wouldn't be bummed if I opened it Christmas morning and saw the headstock broken off. I probably would have held out, except she came back and asked if it was supposed to have that big stripe down the middle. Then I peeked. It was just the center panel on the 3 part top. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I opened it at 4:00... I was still alittle cool. Then I had to tune it. Then I had to play all three Neil Young songs that I know. Then I had to side-by-side it with the 1627GC. Then I had to take pics....
Which are Here... And Here! :eek:
 
It has some pick-tracks cuz it was a demo before 'customlegend' got it, so I don't have to worry about scratching it. :p
(I couldn't get the images to transfer over from the Ning site... Anybody else have that problem?) |

Also, you cannot see the 'cords' in the fiberglass bowl of the 1111 like I can in my older guitars.
And the 1111 feels really Light! (weight-wise)
I sounds quite full. You can just hear that sound waves bouncing around in there.
So, Yeah! It's a pretty nice guitar. :D :p

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Nice guitar OMA...pretty shiny bowl...
(careful, it'll slide off of your knee...lol)
If the "Book" had been that cold, I would have waited too...
New guitar, time to learn a new Neil Young song... ;)

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | The thing that I just realized about a shiny bowl is that I will have to wipe that down after I play,
like I do the top and neck.
Don't want nasty 'belly-prints' on it, y'know?
[get that image stuck in your mind! :eek: ] |

[get that image stuck in your mind! :eek: ] well Art..... a shower will take care of the "belly prints" j/k :p or at least make sure you're wearing a shirt when playing..
"wash, rinse, repeat."
Nice Git! Shiny Bowls are awesome!... looks like a very nice three-planker.. now play the heck out of it and get those boards loosened up.
