Hooooooly CRAP is that gorgeous!!!!  But looking at the upper bouts, you may need to change your screen name, Bill.

The balances is a little neck heavy.
I play with my basses high and tight, so it doesn't really have room to drop.  
 
There's not a whole lot going on in the side view.

Bill___Absolutely Beautiful!  Is this the one that you purchased from the fellow from the Bay Area in California?  It was listed just a 15 minute drive from me and I was so tempted. I am very glad that you picked it up.  Congratulations !!!

Yes, I bought it from the original owner, Bill MacBeath.
I found out later from Mica, he was a friend of the family.
