Nice work Mark.
Wow, this is awesome! the headstock looks really good. Are the tuners OK with the string tension? I guess so, but this is a design I have only seen on nylon string guitars before. Really innovative, impressive!
Thanks McCreed, thanks Andy.
I came across Frank Vignola some time ago on YouTube. He is a really good player and I’ve seen him playing a guitar with this style of headstock. I actually quite like it, it’s feels nice and ergonomic. The strings are still stretching so I can’t comment on tuning stability yet but I’m guessing it will be ok.
Looking very nice, is the bridge straight though? It's bugging my OCD. ;)
No, it’s shifting around the place to find correct intonation. Currently it’s got a broken e string and I’m waiting for knobs. It will find where it belongs in the future.Quote:

It's going to be a gem to play [emoji2]
Got knobs. Only truss rod cover screws left to arrive in the mail. Hopefully I’ll be able to find my truss rod cover.
Those knobs certainly look at home on that body mate!
A little touch of gold, but not TOO much.Quote:
