Lovely, I especially like the look of the neck (from fretboard side).

so as i said...I intended this to be a for of jazz guitar...not quite a big arch top but emulating that sound. Which has worked quite well. What is blowing me away is how good this sounds on overdriven patches....
Might be the heavy strings (13 - 53 - bending is fun!) might be the flat wounds...who knows. Regardless I find myself wanting to play this a lot.

I feel like players like Robert Fripp would be ideal customers for your creations!
