It looks like an absurdly expensive piece of designer furniture. In a good way.

The list price is $3480 USD, but depending on the options you choose it could work out more or less than that. Chuck in 20% for VAT/customs on top.. it ain't cheap but it isn't mental either given the quality and how much of the work is done completely by hand.

I had very high expectations, but this has blown those completely out of the water.

Seems resonable in all honesty.  I could keep the price down by putting the propper number of strings on it  :lol:

EDIT: Actually, I'd be happy sending him £300 if he just sent me a headstock back.

Hahah!
You should get in contact with him, I was talking with him for a fair while before I ever put a deposit down and he was always very helpful and amiable :)

Thanks again dudes!

Here are a couple more snaps, one on my favourite guitar-picture-taking couch, the other to show how much the flamed maple binding pops since I feel that's been under-represented in the other photos!

Not planning on changing them at all! I'll be down at the BKP workshop next week so we might try a couple of sets in for perspective but the guitar sounds fantastic as is :)

Dare I ask, Nolly, how many guitars have you got?

That's not meant in a "how many guitars does one man need?" kind of way, I know it'll be less than my - totally un-needed - collection.  Just curious!  :)
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

yes, black limba and white limba (korina) both come from the same tree, Terminalia superba.  if you are really lucky you get orange streaks running through it, usually from a small worn that has burrowed through

some nice wood in that guitar
