Christmas has come early for me!
Just this afternoon my package arrived from our favorite Black Swan.
Now, I no longer have to envy Hesh, or Craig, or anyone else for that matter. I have in my possession my very own Tiger Myrtle, and I could not be happier.
You will pardon me if I brag a bit? This is my first order from Tim, and he has treated me like a king.
Look how well it came packed:
It was wrapped, and wrapped again in plastic and duct tape. If the cargo plane had gone down over some ocean somewhere, no doubt the package would have washed up ashore safely for some castaway to build a fine guitar. (Or cook dinner, whichever seemed more important.)
Notice the free pen that Tim packed along with the wood.
So here's the goods:
And closer:
And the back, closer still:
I've discovered that it is quite difficult to properly photograph wood. These shots are close to true color. But Tim's photos are dead on, so that I was not surprised at all when the packagage arrived.
As my surfer roomate used to say, I'm stoked, and am looking forward to building this guitar. I do believe that this one's for me.
Again, kudos to Tim! Thanks so much from half way 'round the world, mate!
Steve
I can't wait to see how this guitar turns out!
