I can't decide which of the 3 I like best. I'd gladly take any of the 3 if you wanna give them away!

So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.

Very sharp! I just got back from Kauai and brought a couple of Koa billets back with me ;) Should be enough for several guitars!
