Hey you gotta respect a "Bah-Humbug" hat if it comes from the land of Dickens.

Merry Christmas to all of you guys on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific.

Michael, That came about as I had to design the guitar to make the most of an amazing "Butterfly" pattern in the African Blackwood and not lose any. The guitar sounds great - but can be a little grumpy sometimes hence the hat
