Pretty easy for me....I ordered it in 2004/2005, picked out every single piece of wood for it, initially it was stained a bit too dark and was completley stripped and repainted, was part of every aspect of the guitar, from control layout to the inlay itself...took 4 years to build but its absolute perfection...from the wooden bobbins that match the coral inlay to the wooden strap locks, the matching wooden tuner buttons, to specific fishes that my kids wanted (to include my daughter wanting a seahorse onthe back and hte shark that matches my tattoo). Its a Ron Thorn Artisan Master (he no longer takes orders like this so it was an end of an era). Its a solid brazilian rosewood neck, african rosewood fretboard, black limba body....people who see it are usually scared to touch it but I put it out at the BBQ's I used to throw with a big "Play Me" sign on it with it hooked up to my SLO so guys can take it for a test drive....no other guitar like it anywhere and never will be again...
