Mica,
Thanks for the info!
 
I was wondering, was this guitar a limited edition?

Hi Claire,
 
Congratulations on your new purchase!
Any chance that you may post a picture of it?  I'm not familiar with this model. I'd really like to see it.
 
Cheers!
 
Rami

Yep, this is the one (the one in Michael's pic).  
 
I think it is a beautiful instrument, and hopefully, it plays as well as it looks ;)
 
We should be receiving the guitar this week, and I will post the pictures as soon as I can.
 
Thanks for the posts!
