I was very satisfied with the plans and the correspondence with regard to them. I highly recommend them. The top is one piece of 3/4" spalted Hard Red Michigan Maple. The bottom section is two 3/4" pieces of Black Walnut that I (hand) joined together. I've been "trying my hand" at instrument building for a couple of years now. One thing I can say for sure: I have learned a lot in the process. Thanks again - Will

Here's the modern Gretsch take on the '50s Gretsch:
You can see where I got the idea... Bob

on my weissenborns I play in D and G (C and B on the baritone). Although I do play with a sound hole PU at times, my hammer on/off style works great in these tunings. One Weiss I had came with a Steve Dawson C6 Weissenborn DVD. Dabbled a bit but Open D really called me. I think the electric steel sustain lends itself to the steel staying on the strings, hence C6 preference. Plus on the Weiss, my low string is heavy ( 58 - 64).
