A Space guitar! Cool!

    That's a cool design! It came out nice! I'd rather see banjos in space! Sound doesn't travel through a vacuum!

I thought some of you guys would get the Zorzi reference. I must admit, that particular modal was an influence. But, also, that shape has occured in other places as well.

The outline of my wife's hat, for example, at a recent vacation in Brice.

I still think yours is better! Nicely refined.

And tell your wife, "cool hat!"

Thanks Carlton, I'll pass that along.

Mark, I have been saving the piece of the back and gluing it to the heal for some time now. I just like the look. Also, all my cutaways fallow the conture of the heal. It seems cleaner to me.

Michael and Kim, The increased lower bout seems to help boost the low end a tad. The body is about an SJ but seems to hold on to the lows ok.

Chris, I'm an electric player originally too but always wanted a "good" acoustic. Part of the reason why I started building them was because I could not understand why all the acoustics I tryed were so hard to play.

I put up a quick and dirty Mp3 bite for your listening plesure. I hope this works.

Wade, that is a very nice guitar. I love that you were not afraid to try something different. It looks really good to me.

Cool shape, nice sound. Way to go Wade! I think it sounds very balanced, nice crisp attack. What more could you want?
