Many have asked for pics, so here you go. I had a hard time with the flash and lighting, so I took a several pics to try and capture the qualities of the dymondwood:

That's beautiful, Todd--be careful when you open up the back--that diamondwood can splinter pretty badly! ;-)

The blue looks very cool. Did you have any taste or smell issues with the dymonwood? I did on my C and sent it back. Brad told me they had dipped the combs in some mint or peppermint oil (and don't any longer). He sealed my comb by hand himself and sent it back to me. There is still a slight smell but it no longer tastes funny in the back of my throat and I'm happy with it. Not sure how I'll like the A and D I theoretically have coming - if they don't seal them.

Yeah, mine was a little minty also, but it quickly wore off.
How do you like your C, bonedog?

I heard through the grapevine that a Collector's item prototype B-rad is going to be coming up on EBay in the next few days.

@ Todd - I have just started giving it a workout and only played it amped for a tune or two last weekend. It is different - like a new car, I'm getting used to how it handles. I don't love the acoustic tone of it compared to other harps, but amplified it's not as much of an issue. I was diggin it when I did use it last weekend and will have to play it some more to 'see what it'll do'. The 6OB is nice and easy, the 4&5 a little less so - same with the 7 OD. But overall it is light and responsive - and nice in the hand. I'm glad I have it. If I hadn't resolved the funny back of the throat taste issue I would have sold it. I think I was more sensetive to it than most.
