Thanks Don, I'm pretty excited about it. There are a couple of mistakes, at least in their online copy, as I really don't make 11" wide necks and the string spacing at my saddles is usually not 2" but on the whole I'm very pleased to be in print!!! I haven't recieved my copy of the mag yet though.

I believe our "Paul Woolson" also has an article on one of his guitars in the same issue.

You probably need the 2" between strings for those 11" necks. I have not seen the article yet, but look forward to reading it.

I looked really hard but couldn't find one about or by Paul. Bummer!
Maybe they saved it for next issue.

Don,

Try here. There's a video of Teja Gerken playing it too - nice guitar Paul if you are out there.
