Wow, what a response. Hal, the rounded point is pretty cool thanks for the suggestion. Oliver, not sure when I will be able to afford to put in an order for this, but its probably best to wait at least until the design/woods/inlays stop changing in my head. Ordering an instrument is so much harder than buying one, since you don't just have to decide if you want it, but also how you want it. Think I need some professional advise and some quotes/costs on the options...almost time to call Mica I think.
