    it wasnt a difficult decision for me either, despite the excellent quality of the other contenders, u really stood out. 6 gold stars for the creativity..

  • Great Tuners and Lighter Bridge!!
    Yeah!!!
  • A Very well thought out build or so it seems from head stock to tail peice... but A Winner for sure ....
