Thanks Paul. It is always fun searching for the next perfect guitar fit. Even though the perfect fit may change two years from now. But.... that just means more fun in two years.

Is it still available? If so, where are you on price? Best. Ross

What is the playing difference between a 13 fret and a 14 fret? Are the strings looser or is the tightness of the strings the same? Also, what is the neck shape compared to a Taylor or Goodall (which is what I currently own)?

I can answer most of that for you - it's the scale length, not the number of frets that reduces the tension (this one is short scale 24.9 I believe) The difference in frets puts the bridge closer to the sweet spot of the top normally giving more warmth that a 14 fret from the same builder/woods.

Bill's neck profile is pretty shallow - more like an older Taylor than your Goodall.

Thanks Fitness1.

Yes the scale really does make difference in string tension. I love it. It makes the guitar very easy to play. That combined with the almost electric guitar neck shape, makes this Charis have a very light touch to play.
