If I'm not too late... get the Adi bracing.  it'll keep distortion/overdrive out or to a dull roar.  But I'd also strongly suggest (unless you're under about 5'8") looking at my new post and the AcousticGuitarNews.com post about GA 12th frets.  They really are the next step in guitar evolution!

thx! i did opt for adi performance bracing, that option became available as after i initially made an order, so we added it before construction

i hear amazing things about 12 fret GA, but i am  5’7” :)

Good things happen to those who wait as they say.  You got that in spades.

And one on mine, being able to share that with you as a surprise! Hope your little one is on the recovery side by now.

Given how good it apparently sounds and how good it looks, it was all meant to be. Enjoy it!

Hope your child is feeling better. Congratulations on a beautiful, one-of-a-kind guitar. If John puts up a video, please post a link, if you have time. Thanks.
