Beautiful. I've never seen dual soundports before. the inside of the guitar is really on full view, so you must be a neat worker. What's the story with the gap between the fingerboard and the top? don't get me wrong, it looks very intentional. But maybe I'm mistaken, and it's just a darkening in the wood there. An amazing guitar though. Reminds me of a Lowden, but with a slightly more pronounced lower bout. And the bridge design is a nice original touch. |

Beautiful Greg. I like the neck design. It looks like a single piece down to the soundhole. Makes for a very straight fingerboard. how did you do it? |

Thanks guys, The dual sound-ports work very well, and the fretboard extension is elevated. Andy, I just used a chunk of mahogany to make the neck and extension, relative to the extension, I made a jig to calculate all of the angles, and another jig to cut the angles into the neck, it's quite a pain but I like the results. Cheers, Greg |

Very nice looking Greg. So, the neck is bolted on with no glue? I like that headstock shape too. |

Very nice! It's elegant and understated (which I love in a guitar) and has the styling of a classical but from a modern steel string approach. Very cool! Everything about it I like, the craftsmanship, the finish, it's all great! Cheers, Chad |

Elegant guitar, Greg. Very nice. Say, what is the binding? It's an interesting contrast to the HRW. Steve |

Thanks to all! Quote: Greg my friend another great guitar from you. How do you like the sound of the HRW? It's a favorite of mine. Hi Hesh, HRW is one of my favorites too, this guitar just sings! Quote: Very nice looking Greg. So, the neck is bolted on with no glue? That's correct, bolt-on, no glue. Quote: Say, what is the binding? It's an interesting contrast to the HRW Steve, it's bloodwood binding, this stuff is quickly becomming a favorite of mine. Cheers, |
