Yep, pretty. I like when the maker signs the label.

Thanks to CosmicArkie for posting pictures and it is very nice. Bought it from Robyn Young (Faron Young's son) and feel fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time. Chris Bozung is a humble builder who stresses detail in every build.

I am biased but it will hold its own or surpass any acoustic I have played.

Never named a guitar before but counting twelve roses inlayed on this Bozung, "A Dozen Roses" seems fitting.

Lovely fretboard inlay work!

This acoustic version of Prefab Sprout's "Faron Young" seems appropriate: https://youtu.be/K3XwvRKonN8

Check the first photo - the builder says otherwise.

Grot knows his stuff. Builders are rarely right about those kinds of things. A Guitar like that needs the heaviest strings possible and must be tuned 3 steps above concert pitch to sound it's best. :laughing:

Ya need to slap a set of heavy strings on that baby if you really want it to sing!

I think it was a deadpan delivery joke but that caught my eye too and I like that Mr. Bozung makes sure anybody down the road knows what to use.
Gorgeous inlays and my favorite type of 'burst too, not too dark with a lot of red in it, on my tube at least.
Congrats!!

Heck if it was a bull we could just castrate it.

Pretty general statement about builders in general. I'm not sure I'm buyin' it but then again, what the hell do I know.

I was only fooling around. It is a real work of art and you should trust the guy that crafted it of course.
