Hi Mica, I spoke with Susan a while ago and mentioned that I dont want the guitar started until this fall. I would like to add a few things to the body. I will go ahead with the wood back plates and I would like the bottom rounded instead of the carving.

Almost forgot, I would like to go with flame maple on the back of the head.

I found the top and back of your new Darling while I was in the shop last night.  Top:

That's going to look really nice with the finish!
