[Bluedog Guitars]

Dru, no, it is not similar to Garrison at all. There is wood bracing on both top and bottom in a conventional pattern, but there is less of it, and especially so in regards to the kerfing (there isn't the normal kerfing, it's a different kind).

The neck block inserts into a cradle and is secured by a single hex-head bolt that also acts as a strap pin at the neck joint. A strut extends from the neck block to the tail block and has a bolt on the end that emerges from the tail-block and is secured by a hex-head bolt that also acts as a strap pin.

Adjustment of the string height is made by leverage from another bolt imbedded in the tail block that is perpendicular to the one connected to the neck. This adjustment is made with the insertion of an allen key in a small hole on the back of the guitar below the strap-pin (which is then tightened down to lock the neck height in position). It is all much simpler than it might sound, and can in fact be done while the guitar is being played, along with the appropriate tweaks to the tuning. Hopefully the accompanying photo's help make sense of this explanation. And beware: patent is pending (though that may not mean much in some parts of the world...)
