[Neil K Walk]

I am totally on board with bolt on necks. I don’t know if I am on board with a complete lack of a tenon but I do love how Taylor and Bourgeois each secure the fretboard.

Which leads me to Martin’s A frame bracing. I love the idea of interlocking bracing underneath the primary cantilever axis for the neck joint. It just makes sense if you think of it from a structural POV. It also reinforces how akin Luther’s is to shipbuilding; ships are built to be both rigid AND flex under pressure.

I’m also a big fan of soundports. I don’t even know why I had reservations. I love being able to hear the guitar more directly from the player’s perspective.
