NGD - the waiting is the hardest part

[tnez13]

New custom build is all set and ready to go. And I can't get to the shop to pick it up until April 5. Gonna be a long eleven days.

"The Waiting is The Hardest Part" That would be a great song title!

I 've been there ...got mine a week ago.
Beautiful looking instrument!!!

Whoa that is beautiful! BRZ for the back and sides? What's the top, looks like tight grained Sitka. Very nice!

[tnez13]

Back and sides are santos rosewood or pau ferro or morado depending on your name of choice. Top is tight grain Sitka with some bear claw pattern in it.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not familiar with the builder, can you educate us?

The guitar is a Caston Guitar built by Richard Kluttz from Concord, NC. Richard has run a frame and art shop for many years. Several years ago, he decided to try his woodworking skills on guitar building. He had five or six guitars on hand in his shop when I visited. I played them all, came close to buying one but ultimately, there was something about being able to pick the exact wood and accessories for my guitar that really appealed to me. All told, about a five month process from order to completion.

I'll post more pics and try at some recordings once I pick it up.

A beauty. Waiting is tough, but all good thing come to those who do.

Think of it this way: the waiting builds up the anticipation. And, like a good meal, the anticipation ultimately leads up to a more robust experience once you receive the goods!

Probably only makes things worse for you though. Sorry 'bout that! Really is an attractive instrument. Hope she is all you hope for.

I am on my fourth custm order , the wait is always tough but fun.This time I only had to wait 4,5 months for the builder to begin, the first was two years,a nugget mandolin.

Bill at Charis Acoustics says my SJ will ship this coming Monday, it will be a three day delivery. I should have it Thursday. Then.... That's a good looking dread, love the back and top, I know you're proud.....congrats

The waiting is half over . What a beauty! I've never played a pau ferro guitar before. Looking forward to the review when you play it. .... And Congrats!

[JoeCharter]

Congrats! The top looks amazing.

Gorgeous guitar! Pau ferro is a terrific wood - visually and sonically - and has risen substantially in price. Admire all you guys who have the ability to wait it out, but impulse buying has its rewards as well
