Shows what I know. If you don't mind saying, what was the additional charge for Brazilian?

It looks like bookmatched halfs. ( The disaligned bearclaws mustn´t inevitably irritate. It seems as if patterns can vary quite some only few millimeteres deeper inside the trunk, with the next sheet.)

- And beautiful all around!
Nice rounded edges, rosette and headstock design!

Considering the optics of untreated woods, I wished there could be finishes that wouldn´t wet and darken the wood. ( Physically paradox, I know.)
Hardening the surface / protecting against dangs ´n scratches and oxydation, but preserving the fresh wood look still.

Anyway, great eye candy photos!

Guess you´ll be having a blast when she arrives.
-

Write a review when she will have settled in.
I am for more ( and more particular ) reviews anyway.

With all of the guitars that I couldn´t get a hold of in the past, yet wanting to gather more info through reviews, it showed that there existed much too little in numbers and particulars on the internet.

Eventhough reviews will have to remain subjective and depending on the individual guitar, interested people will always appreciate them. And the more reviews there be the more will typical properties of individual makes shine through.
-

Having said that, I am not after a new guitar myself; - and probably for a while to come.
