RE: Building Guitar Number 100. (in reply to TANúñez)

Hi Andy, I just went to your website ( first time), but couldn´t find the bevel example. You are saying something there. Indeed, have I not yet played a bevelled specimen, and standard guitars already provide a bit too little distance from bout to soundhole-bridge area. Lowering further shouldn´t be ergonomically optimal, as you point out. - So how could my ideal guitar be looking like; bevelled, yet not with extra large body in the same time. > scratch, scratch< Elevating arm rests could thus indeed be most practical. I have an arm rest with suction cubs somewhere. Only problem you need a corresponding guitar case ( either with a ward for the arm rest, or an oversized one, which I not really keenly do use for that one guitar ). Further, that rest isn´t shaped optimally, with just a rounder edge instead of a nice flat section. Having just eyed your creations I must say that their esthetics from far don´t floor me ( on first glance, which could change easily live ), but your guitars sound characteristics ( and your playing style, besides!) do really hit a nerve with me. And what I hope is: # That you will be sticking to building for quite a while, yet. # Not rocket in pricing before I might grab me one. I really admire how you home-grown guys excel. Ruphus
