I decided that after looking at it for a few weeks that I absolutely HATE the way the top looks. It's the sum of the parts. The carve didn't go the way I wanted it to go, the canary isn't as colorful as I wanted, and there's something intangible that's completely wrong about the whole thing. I can't put my finger on it, but it's just not right.
I've made enough guitars that I'm unhappy with that I know if i finish it up, I'll never want to play it, so there's no point is going forward.
So we'll have to wait and see what happens with the whole thing. I've always wanted a Mockingbird, so there WILL be another in the future. But that's the only thing that's set in stone. Right now, I'm leaning heavily towards a quilted top with a tiger-eye dye job.
