I just received my  RT custom GK only semi-hollow body.  Roy Toepper was the Luthier and did a fantastic job. Walnut top with a curly maple body. Simple internal GK3 with vol and S1/S2 toggle and a Kahler trem.

Very nice. My custom has a solid Walnut body. Yours, makes me want to strip it and leave it natural.

Wow its an absolutely beatiful guitar!!

But I could not have resist to put magnetic pickups to squeeze the maximum of that exquisite luthier work. At least a good one in the neck it sure would has a beatiful "jassy" tone.  ;D

Anyway congratulations for a guitar so precious one of the most beautiful I've ever seen

Looks like pretty shoddy workmanship to me. I'd scrap it.   No, wait, it's a shame to scrap any guitar, even that one, just send it to me while he builds you a proper guitar....I'll find something to do with it  ;D

Wow, very nice looking instrument!  What you have there is not just "walnut" but a very nicely bookmatched selection of Claro walnut.  In fact yours looks like it was cut from just above the burl area. Claro walnut typically goes for big bucks. I build custom acoustic guitars and I have one steel-string acoustic I built for personal use that has a nice set of Claro back and sides. I've enjoyed it.

Also, I like the control layout of your guitar. I'm thinking about doing something very similar to this with an upcoming build, but the guitar will be more like a thin-line acoustic. Haven't decided on the woods yet.
Best,
Michael

Thanks All!

I appreciate the comments. I've had her now for 4 months she's breaking in nicely. May start a second one after the holidays and add some magnetics to it and tweak the design a bit.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
