That’s an amazing cup of tea.
Are you doing the fan fret slots on your CNC?
It’s really beautiful. Would love to hear it.
I don’t know what tuned to C sounds like.

I just strung this one up this morning. It was intended to be used as booth-bait at PNW guitar show circuit which of course are not likely to be happening any time soon. Oh well.. It’s Sitka over Black Limba, scale is 28” over 26.5”. The finish is Endurovar over Silvertip. The strings are a custom set consisting of .060, .052, .042, .032, .019, .015, and is tuned to C. It sounds very piano-like. Thanks for looking, M |

Pretty guitar, Visually very modern looking - goes well with the fanned fret and longer scale. |

Beautiful workmanship. And I particularly like the design of the bridge. (A straight-on photo would be appreciated.) |

WOW! I love the simple, modern look. What blew me away was the belly. Is that like quilted, flamed Sitka, or something? I like different. A multi-scale baritone would be pretty cool. |

One more money shot, if you don’t mind. I would like to see the whole guitar from the front. Like what the audience would see. To get a good sense of the proportions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
