Thanks all.

Matt, that's a great description of Dake's guitars. Except for the raindrops. Raindrops are cold and miserable around here, especially when they are 35 degrees and mixed with hail like we had today on the alleged first day of spring.

Steve, thanks for the reminder. Yes, the player can adjust it very simply, although the nylon string will have one extra step. It will have one more screw to lock the neck in place. String tension is sufficient on a steel-string but I want the neck fixed with the lower tension of nylon strings.

The adjustment bolt is shown in the first photo. After a couple of years of removing strings to adjust them, I realized a ball-end allen wrench would fit at an angle so you can adjust it with the strings on and up to tension. A video is in the works.... one of these days.

I'm assuming the neck adjustment will be used less on the classical but I really like the idea of being able to dial in the string height and keep it there, while adjusting the action independently.
