Thanks guys,

to answer joe`s question... I dont really notice much of a difference in the sound, it has about the same volume, perhaps a slight bit deeper tone btu i have been working on bringing out more bass in my OM`s so Im not sure if it was the top or body.

and Steve, yupp, That is a guitar in a bottle. It is a take on the ship in a bottle. Being from New England and a many generation sea going family I felt it really fit. My good friend Stephen Couch`s wife Bridget did all my design work for me. She had a lot of cool ideas.
thanks for asking.

I deliverd the guitar to its owner today.. oh well, on th the next one.

thanks again

Exceptional, Matt. Man, talk about a flashy entrance! This one had a full brass band with flags and streamers!
You should visit the neighborhood more often.

Another very cool guitar under the belt and out the door Matt. I love that shading you did on the back of the neck, very nice vintage looking touch.

That is a very nice looking guitar Matt.

Got to wear safty glasses around the cutaway hu?    I love it.

[quote=Steve Kinnaird]That Sapele looks nearly like Snakewood--wow! [/quote]

I thought the same thing Steve, the head stock made me triple take. Very nice.
