Hello Dan,

Nice catch Dan. It's a beauty! It was done in the year 2000.

Sincerely,

Absolutely the prettiest top I've ever seen on a Blues 90. Nothing else even close. Good shooting, Dan.

Hell...prettiest top I've seen on any guitar.

Thanks for all the kind words about the beautiful boat wake top. I have to say though, I am A MESS right now! Ron shipped the guitar Fed-Ex on Tuesday from California, it's on its way to me in NY. As we speak, Fed-Ex tracking places the guitar in Indianapolis. Temps here in NY are down into the 20's (Fahrenheit) at night. The thought of the possibility of that top finish crackling due to shipping in cold temps is killing me!!!! I'ts supposed to arrive Friday, I will say my prayers until then. I usually leave a guitar that has been shipped during a cold spell in it's case and shipping box for about 4 or 5 hours to acclimate, is that long enough? I have never had a problem, but I do NOT want to take a chance on this top. Thanks for any advice in advance....
