Thanks to you, yes. Still not sure why it posted twice in different sizes, but I suspect some carry-over malfeasance from a previous attempt. It's a start.

I see pics also. And I had a different image in my mind of a love strap, glad I was wrong.  :humour:

You guys don't really want the "love strap" story. This is a family forum and I don't want to get banned right before I get my VII!

Updated tracking info has it right on schedule for delivery tomorrow. This reminds me of kids watching NASA's radar of Santa's progress on Christmas Eve.  :beer  :cop:

Those moments always scare me as it seems my biggest delivery disasters have come when I'm watching the tracking super-closely. I've had two times where I was on the patio, waiting to sign, and got a notification on my phone that my package was delivered. Only, it wasn't delivered to me!  :crying:

Not to scare you or anything.  :wink:

Now that you mention it, FedEx has done that to me twice, but both times it was a bogus vendor. Pictures of product on porches I'd never seen before. Counting down... :nana_guitar

On the truck, delivery scheduled between 9:40-11:40. For as long as I can remember, we've left treats/snacks/beverages on our porch for delivery drivers. Well, ok, my wife does.  :roll  They appreciate it immensely and the service we get out here in the boonies has always been super.

I've got my Forum VII !!!!!

Temps being in the 70's I waited a bit checking box temps (read 75.9) on box, then same inside.

It's absolutely beautiful!

On a side note, I didn't get an arch top case, or the flash drive of build pics.

Can you upload pics???

Sorry about the arch top and missing flash drive... that's a bummer.  :?

Not to spam but, looking at the photos again, there's something really special and almost ancient/mystical about seeing those redwood tops with the satin finishes. As if it's some exhibit out of a museum taken home. And, knowing that they are salvaged gives the whole thing an ethical vibe too. Congrats again!

The photos really don't do the woods justice, in person as you move the guitar the chatoyance of the grain looks sooooooo good.
