Nice presentation of your guitars. I see you built a Barbero style guitar, as well.

My 4th guitar was no where near as good looking as yours.

Go for it. Stephen is a lovely guy. La Herradura is one if the best places on the Costa, take away some wonderful memories and an excellent guitar, that you built.
