Really lovely, Robin. And unlike a classical guitar, you've got a truss rod to let you tweak the neck as well as just adjusting the saddle.
Does it balance well on a strap?

Bravo Robin, standing ovation. Just awsome
Robin I am in awe. That is a stunner.
Very beautiful. Great job.
Lovely stuff, Robin. You should be very proud of this beauty.
@Chrissy, JB, VH, Fretty, and Pabs
Thank you so much guys, that means an aweful lot to me.
@Simon
Thanks mate. I'm not sure how much I can adjust the truss rod as I left a lot of meat on the fretboard and its pretty solid. The truss rod is just a bit of belt and braces stuff.
Balance wise on a strap? Really nice. Which is really amazing as I didn't even consider this during the design/build.
Just another lucky happenstance. lol.
Thanks again guys.
Lovely bit of work Robin, that central ply core of the neck has created a wonderful accent to the whole look. The easy access neck/body transition is wonderful and in itself visually stunning, as is the stylised soundhole/F hole execution.
Amazing build as they always are from you. :)
Another beautifully stunning build Westie07, this axe has class and all built without any power tools. You are an inspiration to all of us Rob, top job mate.
The neck shape looks pretty square at the back, is that how you like the neck profile ?
Can't wait for a sound demo when you get time. Also impressed you log your time. 150 hours was well worth it !
Bloody beautiful Robin, well done once again!
@Frankie
Gee, thanks mate, but you are too kind.
(Queue "Rocky Horror Picture Show" voice-over) I'm looking forward to seeing what come out of the "Lab"
@Woks
Thanks Warren, kind words.
I've just discovered that I don't like flat fretboards LOL.
But I've tried to copy Classical guitar specs as much as possible with this build. So that meant longer scale and width and a flat fretboard.
Only using hand tools and logging times on my builds?? That's just me being anal.
@Zandit
Thanks mate.
But I'm looking forward to seeing your Silent Guitar. I'm sure it will be a stunner.
Thanks guys.
