Thanks Kevin.
As far as guitar COTM's, I wouldn't be so presumptuous with the many beautiful Furthers in production with the wonderful inlay work. I believe those have a much better chance than my simple idea. The elves have a very tough yet fun decision to make every month. Just going down the list in here, each one is deserving with a great story to tell.
After seeing that amazing Amboyna bookmatch on the Gilmer site, I knew that I had to have Amboyna on my next instruments after getting my classic BalK in Coco. E.T. is getting the next successive slice which is even prettier than this one in my humble opinion, so that's going to be out of this world. And they have to be pretty because they won't be getting much playing time. My BalK will be getting the majority of my attention. As I told Susan in an email, my BalK is bass nirvana. (If nirvana can be reached without series electronics, that is...)
Mica's promised more pics when the opportunities present themselves. Let's wait and watch.
