Recommending Blues Creek Guitars for guitar kits

Hi, I'm not sure if this type of post is okay for this forum so if it isn't please be free to delete this post.
I just wanted to give a shoutout to Mr. Hall from Blues Creek Guitars, because he can provide an insane amount of customization for your acoustic guitar kit.
I just received a Hauser style classical guitar kit from Mr. Hall w/ Tamarind B&S, and a bolt on neck. As far as I know there are no places that provide a classical guitar kit w/ a bolt on neck, all only have a Spanish heel.
My kit required a ton of customization because the neck is a classical style neck (2 inch nut, 650mm scale), but w/ bolt on neck attachment. All the bracing had to be custom made too, as I don't think there are many that offer preshaped braces for classical guitars. Even with the customization and the highly figured wood the price was more than reasonable.
If you want to build a certain type of guitar but can't find a kit from the major players I think you should definitely give Mr. Hall a call or email to see if he can cook something up for you. He is a godsend for us beginners and people who don't have the space and resources to start building from scratch. This is not even talking about his GREAT customer service. So just wanted to give a public appreciation post to Mr. Hall and a strong recommendation for any beginners looking to build a guitar or anybody who wants to try something different but is unsure if they have the resources and expertise to try it by themselves.
Some pictures of the kit that I got. As you can see, the woods are gorgeous!
