I had a birthday recently, and my wife made me a copy of a National New Yorker. It tasted much better than it played.

Very impressive! Correctly colored roman numeral fret markers at the right frets, and strings to boot. Even the National logo. I've never seen anything like that before

That's just amazing!
What a labour of love... seems a shame to slice it up.
Does she do this kind of thing professionally??
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

| It was obviously tuned in the key of open D-licious. It was indeed difficult to make the first cut, but after that it went down real easy. My wife isn't a pro, but she is an engineer and plays guitar, so she feels it's important to get the details correct. |

| That fifth fret looks a bit dodgy. Tell her to pay more attention to detail in future ....and in the meanwhile you can send me that one. |

You one lucky guy Ben. What a woman you have there. Likes music, tolerates your habit. Like Merle said "when a girl could still cook and steal wood".
Be sure and reciprocate generously when her Birthday comes around.  |

| That's incredible. Be sure to show her this thread and tell her a whole bunch of obsessive steelers are very impressed with her eye for detail. |
