What a long and nerve wracking wait! It arrived today safe and sound and it's a beauty!

A damn Heavy Beauty though...10lbs and 1.5ozs! I think I may name her Bertha!

Pics from the seller...I'll get out in the sun and take my own tomorrow.

Is it a Tasmanian guitar?? Just kidding, (whole lotta) Rosie was written about a (very large) Tasmanian girl that Bon used to call on when they were down there. Bon was one of those guys who, how we say, would f.... a black snake with a festered arse,,, if you held its head.
It is a beautiful guitar. Cheers

This guitar has the deepest sound of any guitar I've ever owned. The lower frequencies are just so thick and heavy, they penetrate my body!
