American Exotic Guitars

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your feedback! By “veneered edges” do you mean the 5 piece laminated neck? I’m glad you mentioned the arm bevels…I agonized over how big/deep to make them…lol. In the end I went with the “medium” option which I felt still contributed to playing comfort while adding an interesting design feature. I’m attaching a couple more pictures which hopefully show the depth of blue (it’s quite a bit darker in person) and the body contours better. Again, thanks for the input!

Peace,
