on March 6 2020 I had an appointment to meet with the Custom Shop guys at CF Martin which is an hour drive from my shop. I designed a batch of guitars that day to my specs. I did a big batch the year before and had some new ideas. I signed my quotes on Mar 10 as shown. Then the whole world changed and the Martin factory closed down for the first time ever. 
I didn't know what would happen to my order let alone the whole world.

on Dec 8 2020 - 3 of my guitars arrived!!! this is the first box I opened. Its a wonderful guitar.

2020 Custom Shop 000-28 14 fret with my specs. I ordered 2 with these specs:
	
thin satin finish
	
CRAZY wild grain Indian rosewood
	
herringbone binding
	
NO PICK GUARD, my idea is that the pickguard dampens the vibration of the top which is not a new idea but you never see Martin guitars without the pickguard
