Great pics, Mason. Congrats again!

It'd be great to read the 2nd page of TW's note to you ( his penmanship notwithstanding :spabout )

Cheers, :salude

Absolutely stunning.

Tom it still looks really minty the way the nitrocellulose still shines. Man what a guitar.

Nice video at the end too.

Looks like you were a great steward of that instrument over those 30 years.

fretboard is light compared to some of the other bursts I've seen w darker braz boards

dumb question but do all bursts have brazilian rw fretboards?
