As I mentioned in a previous thread, I am finally getting my first true custom. It is an Ancient Sitka (2850 years old) top with Cocobolo back and sides. The luthier is Byron Barnes (www.bbstrings.com). Byron is a great guy and an excellent luthier. He specialized in local (Northern California) woods and sustainable woods, but he will work "exotic" woods if you prefer. He has been great to work with and very patient- which is great when you are as neurotic as we UUers are!
