Some info and the write up from the gibson website.
The Elvis Costello Century of Progress Signature acoustic guitar is fashioned after Costello's beloved 1936 model. It is a painstaking recreation of his favorite acoustic, used to record and perform many of the songs that made him the iconic musician that he is. Culling information from photos of Costello's treasured guitar and the original blueprints from the 1930s, Gibson Acoustics' team of master luthiers were able to successfully reproduce every attribute of Costello's prized acoustic guitar with flawless accuracy and immaculate attention to detail. No feature was overlooked in the creation of the Elvis Costello Century of Progress acoustic guitar. From the figured eastern hard rock maple used for the back and sides to the Adirondack spruce used for the top and bracing, including vintage-style glue used to put it all together, the acoustic also offers a distinct peghead veneer and period-correct custom pearloid fingerboard, adorned by diamond inlays within Madagascar rosewood rectangle fingerboard markers. The neck is crafted from one solid piece of Honduran mahogany, and hand-sanded to form a pronounced "V" profile. The Elvis Costello Century of Progress from Gibson Acoustic will be released in a very limited run of only 300 instruments, numbered from 001 to 300 with an exclusive black hardshell guitar case adorned with a special Elvis Costello/Gibson stamped commemorative plaque and certificate of authenticity. The Gibson signature guitar's label is also personally autographed by Costello. An authentic re-creation of the great songwriter's favorite instrument.

Scale length is 24-3/4", nut width is 1.76"

Hers is how they sound :)

I miss playing guitar, but that one I am not worthy of strumming!

I feel the same, Thats why I play the b25, You should start playing again :) I'm glad you liked the photos bud. I will do a video at some point.

I really don't think I'll be able to get back into music until my kids pick up their own instruments, but mom always pushes their voice talent. Idk, we will see. When you post that vid, shoot me a comment/reply somewhere so I will be sure to check it out.
