Neat Gift...

Post by nnickusa » Tue Oct 23, 2012 12:11 pm

Today is my 50th Birthday, but that's not the point of the thread.

My brother, who lives in California, sent this for my birthday.

It looks much like this.

Which was my first build. I am in sporadic contact with my brother, but he's seen pix of my guitar on facebook, and evidently found a mini guitar making outfit to copy it for me.

I'm quite impressed. They got the headstock shape, the rose, my funny little star, and the bridge shape down.

I think it's pretty cool, and thought I might share. It was very thoughtful and is much appreciated.

Thanks for looking...
I wish I was half the man my dog thinks I am....

Cheers,
