    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?

    @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.

    The neck shape looks pretty square at the back, is that how you like the neck profile ?

    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.
