This guitar is undoubtably one of the finest I have seen in lurking on this forum in the past little while. The pictures speak volumes regarding the quality and beauty of this instrument without the self adulating soliloquy that accompanied.

Having said that, this perhaps the most self congratulatory post I have ever witnessed. Particularly moreso disturbing in that I have yet to have seen this author ever comment in a positive light on anyone else's efforts. Shocking and appalling display.

This is all that I could bear to quote form the 'guest' who either is making a very bad April fools joke or is just being mean and is fearful of being named.

I reread Tony's posts and did not find it self-serving, only that he was excited about the outcome of his labor.

Tony, that is a beautiful instrument. [:Y:] As Dave White always says, is ther a sound clip?

Thanks for sharing your joy with us.

Nice! Normally, the lack of symetry on the back bookmatch would bug me but it works great with the cutaway.

Tony,

Your guitars are really beautiful, the inlays are incredibly artistic, they don't overwhelm, subtle but they speak volumes. Love the lines on your guitars and wood selections, this particular one is just awesome. Lucky, lucky owner, hope he's not afraid to play it.

Congratulations on creating such a wonderful instrument [clap] [clap] [clap] , keep us up to speed on whatever's next, would love to see it in the build process even.

.......and ignore the small lurker in the corner gaah .

Kurt

Tony, beautiful execution again, just by looking you know it's going to sound great. I love the flow of the headpiece and the subtle lines in the neck, it doesn't shout but has a refined presence. Great guitar.

Don't you just love Madagascan rosewood! Every bit the equal of BRW, and probably going to get just as scarce, luckily I bought a lot of sets some years ago at less than £50 a go.

Tony:

Beautiful work. I like the way the bookmatch on the RW accomodates the cutaway, or, rather how you incorporated that natural beauty into your design. Either way, it is like you have a spiritual accomplice when it comes together like this.

Great!!! Looking forward to seeing you again, my good man... I haven't finished the bari, unfortunately... but, no.2 (the one you saw at Erie) is all fixed up! I might have no.3 done by that time too... maybe...

Just drop in, the doors always unlocked! Ha!
