Very nice set! I love that sapwood.

So I just got off the phone with Tom again... Looks like I will probably be ordering a 2nd one in the next week or so... Looking to be cedar/braz but don't want to jinx it just yet

Yes, the Solace (his newer body style) is nearly 3/4" larger on the lower bout than the legacy, which is:

Upper Bout 11”
Lower Bout 15.5”
Length of Box 19.5”
Depth of Neck Blocks 3.5”
Depth of Tail Block 4.875”
Scale Length 25.7”

Note that the numbers I have in the earlier post are for the Solace with the body wedge. I'd imagine that a non-body wedge version would be around 5" depth across.

Now I get it
I guess I will be having more things to think about than I thought

He must really love those late night phone calls till midnight asking what kind of woods the buyer will love most. He must really cool, that would drive me nuts.....

you really just got off the phone with the guy? Isnt it almost 1 am back there? Thats a strange way of doing business, but, whatever works for you two! Good Luck!

I think Tom and I are very much alike in out love for guitars. With the exception of that he is a highly skilled luthier and I am still learning to play

A sale is always easier for someone to stay up for, especially when you only make 17 a year.

You have a good point there! He only does 17 a year?

It is actually going to be doing a few less than that after this year.
He is a true craftsman! He genuinely seems more interested in making a few perfect guitars than making more profit by making a larger quantity of great guitars. I hope we become friends over the next few years, there could not be a nicer guy
