Thanks! I can't wait to see what it looks like all buffed up.  The back and the headstock are going to be burl maple as well.  Worth the wait for sure!

Hi Valentino -
 
I just got your voicemail, and tried calling back but I think you had left for the weekend.  Sorry I missed you.
 
Regarding the front of the peghead, the dealer had given me the quote for burl maple (same as back and top of body). So, if the original quote included the burl and the workorder just didn't match (ie it won't be an additional cost) then I'd rather have the burl instead of ebony.  But if it's going to be an additional cost, then let's just stick with the ebony that's on there now. Let me know.
 
Have a nice weekend!
 
Justin

Ok, no problem, it will be burl maple then. No difference in cost.

My fellow burl brothers...
 
Love it Justin.  I'm sure You like it even more than I do!  The contrast with the purpleheart is very appealing.
 
Remember, patience is a virtue.
 
Good luck with it.

Good stuff, thanks Mica! BTW I'm digging the headstock - I think it looks awesome!
 
And thanks Tom/Jeff for the kind words.  I'm in no rush at all here, and it looks great so far - well worth the wait.  And holidays are upon us after all!
 
On that note - happy holidays everyone!
 
Justin

Jeff - do we live in the same town? Norwalk, CT? How random is that?!
