Looks really nice! Pictures like these make me curious on how it feels to hold it and play it.. and of course, what it sounds like.

Hi Steve

Nice guitar , I see this one has got different tuners two the one you sold me.

What's the difference between a two piece and a three piece back?

best regards
Simon

hey simon thx very much this is my newest look. the tuners are defferent because they client ask for the best tuners and paid for them. IMO theres not a great deal of difference between the 3 piece and the two piece.

Great looking instrument—I like your reference to the media luna design. Is there a split in the wood in the headstock near the tuning machine assembly (by the low E tuner)?

nope the grain doesnt run in that direction. thats a marking error with a marking gauge, went a bit too far, funny it doesnt show like that with out the camera flash. The head design was just my take on a santos design. I can see that also though.

I dont have recording facilities i will try and get somebody to record something for me in the near future. I have just finished a classical. I will post a few pics if your interested. As for the sound i'm useless at describing sound. IMO the classical has a big sound. Its loud in my workshop the sound travels well, great sustain great balance. and the actual quality of the sound is superb. how was that?
