Oh, and one more thing, the finish on the mahogany is hypnotic, It's hard to describe without seeing it in the flesh. Here's two pictures taken one after the other. One with flash and one without...

Sorry for the delay in the update. Things have been crazy busy at work - combine that with a 2 year-old and a 4-year-old and my feet haven't touched the ground for weeks. Thankfully 8C-062 arrived so I now have a perfect companion in those few quiet moments to get my head to a better place...

DeepBass9, It's mahogany wings with thin walnut stringers either side of a maple centre. It's the 'sister guitar' of DeanT's which you'll find earlier in the thread. They were the 'summer specials' from '06 which resurfaced last year. DeanT's got the clear treatment which was Scott's default...

8C-062 is ready. I finally got "that e-mail" from Scott with the pics! Getting very excited over here.:hyper: Now if only PayPal would let me pay the man (grrr!). Happy New Year to all the Birdsong family...

Thank you all for kindly welcoming a Limey into your club. I'll do my best to keep the British end up. DeanT: Woodburning, eh? Are you going to tell us, or will it be a surprise? I've gone for the two pickup config. Having listened to the samples on Millard's site, that was the easiest...

A distant hello from the UK. After short deliberation, I have taken the plunge. The downpayment was made this morning. :hyper: I will be DeanT's twin with the other Summer Special from Inventory - I'm guessing I'll be 8C-062. Just want to back up everything other people have said. I spoke to...
