Wow, that's a beauty! For me there are two show stoppers: one, the 9th fret marker; and, let me see, what was the other? Oh, yeah, I'm broke! Just bought a stunning Dupont MD-20 from Michael, with a second Rodrigo Shopis on order. Boo-hoo, poor me.
Other than that, Ari-Jukka makes fantastic guitars, and somebody is going to get a bargain with this one. I had my hands briefly on a Gypsy Fire D hole with Brazilian back and sides that sounded incredible, one of the very best Favino-style guitars I've ever played. Killer tone, rip-your-face-off volume, and workmanship and finish that astonished every luthier I showed it to. This one is no doubt right up there as well.

AJL guitars are pretty incredible. That's what I want to upgrade to. However, I promised myself that I couldn't get a new guitar until I can perform every song in the Nolan Gigbook. Until then, go go Gadget Gitane!
