Amazing! I thought the rendering was ambitious, but you pulled it together awesomely! I think you found a unique design element for your guitars. Now all your customers are going to want one!

But, that's the smallest soundhole I've ever seen.    
[/QUOTE] No, the soundhole is fine. Actually, it's the largest rosette you've ever seen.

Stunning and inspirational. Makes me want to spend some time in the garage. Although it is awfully hot outside today... Maybe I'll just see if the sponsors picked up any new zoot first.

Michael...

That is very very impressive, I love the way everything balances out. It really stands out...

I may have to confiscate that idea

Cheers
