AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!:D
Finally collected my blackburst atom and am speechless! Tom - huge respect and thanks a million to all the guys down there that had a hand in producing a guitar that goes way beyond my wildest expectations. So beautifully subtle and understated - just what I had hoped. Really pleased too that the decision to go without binding produced such an elegant look - just plain sexy! The quilt is gorgeous. In natural light it has a ghostly, electric-blue/gray tint hidden amongst the stain which indoors becomes magically a shade more earthy.
Pictures will follow, though I fear they will never quite be able to capture the stunning real-life effect. The strings and brightwork add the perfect contrast
That's the weekend written off then!!
Thanks guys - really worth the wait (and the wife loves it too!).
