I've a very biased opinion, but I think you made the right decision Gary. The collings oval is nice, but the Girouard is fantastic. The back of yours is going to look stunning once it's stained. And the rosette looks class. Congrats Gary

Those of you getting one of these with a cedar top are going to love it!! I have a Big Muddy, with a cedar top over mahogany (oval hole), and it sounds wonderful. Full rich round tone.

The Girouard is looking great Gary. I promise to take good care of the MTO once it arrives here in Maine.
I saw this photo on Facebook. Looks stunning. Congrats.
Have you seen this beauty in the classifieds ?

Played many ovals at Gruhn's over a year ago from almost all the top end builders and NONE compared "to my ears or eyes" to a Girouard ! Since then I had a custom A oval ordered from Max which I play today and Max and his wife are presently building me a Concert F4 with a Port Orford top ! You made a great decision !
Wow. That's a thing of beauty.
