Agree with those above.

Would perhaps go as far as the best cassette piece so far. Magnificent hair!

Thanks so much!

My favorite is still the first, chunky Jimi Hendrix I did, but maybe that's just sentimental...

I cant describe how the light bounces off the hair in person... it really sparkles. Thanks again!
