Congratulations and good luck' date=' Dano. It sounds like a pretty straight forward bill. Are you sure you don't want a hog top though?[/quote']

 

Thanks!

 

Already have a guitar with a 'hog top, buddy. Short-scale pawn shop prize I got years ago for $50 or $60, well-made, plays and sounds great.

Bucket list commission...check. Done that, given away.

 

Freeman's skills notwithstanding, and not to be the uber-stoic on these commissions (just to be curmudgeonly; a hobby), beware the expectation versus the revelation. Freeman's can't dig from your ears and shape-shift it into a guitar. No one can.

 

I made similar material requests on an OM and got exactly what I spec'd. After a year and 3K I received a guitar I'd normally put back up on the wall at a GC, unmoved by it, but in my case there was more than a little disappointment at work. But, some chance of fate put a rather talented and financially struggling single parent kid across my path who took that guitar home paying only a token thankyou into my philanthropic coffers, plus a hug from his mom, neither of which was needed.

 

So reserve the giddy expulsion of the muse until you're on the back side of your review.

 

Sounds like a great project, and y’all gotta admit it’s cool when it happens from a venue like this. A few things that are most likely certain- a fair price, solid craftsmanship, and for the forum, some build porno. And if you aren’t moved by it in the end, it’s always the case another will be. Everyone wins. :) I know the feeling of anticipation you have, and it’s like xmas, Hanukkah, and your 16th and 21st birthday rolled into one when the postman shows!
