Fabulous fiddleback there. Enjoy the anticipation! :) Thanks for sharing the pix. That's a little bit of bearclaw (I think) on the soundboard that you're seeing. Awesome. I love it!

Chaz here is a better picture of the guitar head on showing the bear claw quite nicely. Super pretty.

That is a seriously beautiful guitar. I love maple and can tell by just looking at it that it will sound great.
You are a better man than I, being able to put it away unti Christmas.

Congrats.

I've got a maple archtop, otherwise I'd be really jealous right now.

I wouldn’t last three days, let alone 3+ months with that in the house! Many congrats on a stunning beauty!

The way I see it, you should at the very least allow yourself to practice/play some Christmas tunes on it until Dec!! ;) 🤓 Congrats! That is indeed a gorgeous instrument.

MT - I might have to. When it comes to holiday music ( Christmas, Thanksgiving - Jingle Bells / Over the River etc. , New years ) I celebrate the season's entire catalog..

Count me in as another maple mini-jumbo lover. My F44 is the one guitar I'll surely hang onto. It just covers a lot of ground; it's kind of great at everything.

My string choice on the F44 has long been DR Rares.

It just got here. @Grassdog did a hell of a job packing it up. Just stellar.
I looked it over, tuned it up and gave it a few strums before casing it back up. It is a treat of a guitar I can tell just by holding it in my hands. Something about OM's ( f30 ), GA's ( f40 / 47 ) and Jumbos ( f50/55 ) they are all so comfortable.. I would have to decree as much as I love the classic dreadnaught, it does not measure up comfort wise to the three afore-mentioned body styles. I put that F47 in my hands and I could immediately feel myself on stage in absolute comfort. NGD to come!!!

I had never owned a maple or really played maple ( save for a takamine with maple top - it suuuucked ) until I owned the D-30 which I have tried to buy back twice now to no avail. I have had a soft spot for maple ever since. I think my fav tone woods for back/sides in order would be 1 - mahogany 2 - Maple 3 - Rosewood.

It was hard to her go, but I'm super pleased she stayed within the LTG family. Mark, I hope you enjoy it for many years to come!
