Absolutely beautiful guitars Mike! I never get tired of seeing your creations come to life. I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to purchase Clone #13 in 2008 and I fully expect this one to be a lifetime keeper. The luthiers and friends of mine that play it complement me on how simple yet well thought out it is from both a functional and aesthetic perspective. The quality and tone is top notch as well and I enjoy playing it more than guitars that cost double what I paid for it. Mike is obsessed with getting all of the details right and it shows in all his products that I have seen (I also have 2 of his Monroe drive pedals). I am sure that the D'Avanzo guitars are as good or even better than the Clone guitar that I own given that he did not have to compromise on any of his specs and If anyone is on the fence about getting a D'Avanzo guitar I am sure that you will be very happy with the end product. Mike also has great customer service and has quickly answered all of my questions with very detailed answers.
