Re: Number 18
Im pretty happy with this...and a bit sad as its the last of this headstock design. I cannot get anymore Steinberger tuners so the next one will have a new headstock design with regular tuners.
The tone is bright - as you might expect and its light..just over 3 Kg.

Re: Number 18
bright and light ... gee thats like the total opposite to one of the blackwood guitars I made which is Heavy as hell with a big fat slightly scooped sound. The second one I made I chambered it so it is light and actually you could say it has a bright sparkle to it but still with some fatnessLawrence wrote:

I'm liking the neck joint - nice job! I've got some blackwood I'm eventually looking to do a LP type thing. Best I chamber the crap out of it then!

Love the neck / body joint too.
I am making an Acasia Melanoxylon neck and it is not heavy at all. I suppose it depends where it was grown and which part of the tree you got...
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: Number 18
thanks team.
I am currently working on Number 19....this has the new headstock and is being built with a view to selling...not sure how this will happen but you will hear about it here first.
I might start some "work in progress " shots to get you all salivating...
