I really enjoy the rather unique sound-hole design. I think it just sets it apart from other acoustics, but a really stunning looking guitar overall. I'm with the rest, also keen to hear sound clips...steelfingerstyle wrote:![]()

? ? ? Wow, congrats!! Just too much to love there. That is an extremely beautiful guitar. you must be so chuffed hey. And proud! Nice, really nice.
Love the way the soundhole also makes a "C" shape. Is that an intentional part of the Casimi design or just a very nice coincidence?

Wow, I am speechless .... this must be the most stunning acoustic I have ever seen .... :applause: :applause:
Congratulations dude!!
Congratulations dude!!
superb! truly! congrats 8)
Jis ja, she sure turned out to be a beaut. I am still drooling from the last time I saw her pics. :-[ You can be really really proud of her, and as Alan said - so can Matt for building her. Well done! :applause:
You know, it might sound a bit tacky but if I were to have a custom guitar built for me and it was chronicled with such amazing photos from the builder, I would have a photobook made up telling her story from the first pics of the raw woods, the whole build in progress and right through to the finished instrument. I remember from when we had a photobook of our wedding photos printed that there are quite a few places that can do a professional job for a not too unreasonable price. It would be an awesome chronicle of the build and can either be kept with the guitar or displayed as a coffee table book, depending on what type and size of photobook is decided on. I will even ask the builder to sign and date the book for me.
Now I just need to win the lotto so I can do it.... :'(
