Oh yeah, and the 'label' inside is made of wood too :-)
I've just been doing some googling re the materials (I wasn't familiar with either of the main woods) - sounds like the Blue Spruce is a quite a hefty upcharge looking at some builders' pages, and that the Panama Rosewood is a bit 'quicker' and physically lighter than EIR which fits with how much I like the sound but sometimes find other Rosewood guitars a bit ploddy.
ah the fabled Dalbergia Tucurensis / Panama Rosewood touted by some esteemed luthiers as one of the best r/woods.
It was well worth the schlepp - despite the gridlock on the way home.
Quite a place you have there, and the guys were fantastic.
Yeah I know I was a bit all over the show over the last 6 months - I admit that I went off a bit half-cocked with the 000 and the Yamaha - on the upside it made it clearer to me the sort of sound/feel that I was after. And a bloke in a Maserati got a good deal on a Martin ;-)
I'm supposed to be going to an open mic next week with a mate - it'll be nervewracking taking this but that's a first world problem and no mistake...
I'll put another couple of unused pedals up for sale while I decide what pickup I want, and if I can bring myself to have the endpin area (and its spalted Koa insert) drilled into!
I emailed Mike Banarik earlier to see what I could find out about my guitar (plus I wanted to find out what it should be insured for hence his 'quote' comment) - not only did he send a lovely reply but also a link to a picture gallery of its build (!)

Here's what he had to say:

That's an absolute beauty of a guitar - I love the birdseye maple label, a lovely touch. Ive often thought that for a hand-builder, taking photos of the build and printing off an album would add almost no cost either in production or purchase of the instrument, but would elevate ownership considerably.
Enjoy.
