    I love that cutaway, but talk me through the squared off neck heel, is that a comfort or functional feature? I don’t recall having seen one before. On most that I’ve played it still tends to be quite rounded off.

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    Thanks bud. The heel is purely aesthetic, and just a personal choice for this build. As with the florentine cutaway, I wanted something different from my other guitars. There are a number of brands out there with similar designs, some go to a finer point, others are even bigger.
