I love it when the wait is finally over.

Especially when the wait is completely worth it.

So I am overall floored by this guitar -- immediate bond from opening the case to playing. I literally sat down for 4 hours straight playing her.

This confirms my love for solid rosewood necks -- really fattens up the tone and keeps the low end tight.

I also am completely floored by the color/finish. I wanted something with color but not too "hey look at me" -- again somehow Tom and friends have read my mind and given me exactly what I envisioned. The natural back is gorgeous.

This is the perfect compliment to my DT7 and it will not be going anywhere (as with the DT7).

Anyway enough talking, pics!

Like I said you before Tom, do you ever get tired of making the perfect guitar -- over and over again?

Specs! How could I forget that hah.

Finish: Deep Ocean Burst (Dark Burst) w/ Binding / Natural Back
Body: Flame Maple Top (Slab Sawn) on Mahogany
Neck: Solid Rosewood, Gloss Headstock / Satin Back
Pickups: H1 H3
Knob: 3-way Chrome Tip

One thing I forgot to mention -- I was hesitant at first about the gig bag but it really is superior to the usual hard case, good choice Tom.

Very nice indeed. I played my Bulldog live for the first time Saturday night.

I have a DT and a DTClassic, but this guy will probably get more playing time.

Still in the honeymoon phase!

Oh man. So nice. Great pix. One look at the bridge close up picture and you can tell that it's got to be one perfect feeling guitar to play once you get done just looking at it.

I come back and look at this guitar everyday since it was posted. I think it's speaking to me. I tried to convince my wife that it is trying to speak to her... didn't work.

Mike, that is a beautiful guitar! It is now part of my collage of desktop backgrounds. So I went on ebay earlier looking for Andersons and I came across a Tiger's Eye Atom...right next to the same blue couch that is in these pictures. Definitely did a double take... I was like, "wait I know that couch...it's on my desktop!"

Congrats on the guitar! And good luck selling your other guitar.

Very classy guitar, the blue is a nice twist, almost solid looking from afar, and I think the natural back is really a class act. The neck just puts it over the top. I bet your specs will be copied in the future. I just wonder if I could deal with the weight-
