Hmmm....
Good questions Dave.
The neck will adjust with the interior Walnut sliding block that moves up and down (if the guitar is laying in its back). Not a tilting motion. This mechanism is new for John and this axe will be the "prototype". We know there will be at least one other soon as my friend Steve/shorthand is getting an almost identical axe in BEAUTIFUL Koa and Cedar very soon. (He is stoked!)
And the Fretboard extension will float free of the top so I guess the transverse brace is not needed. Especially as the neck block has the CF struts to the waist.
John has done this on my last two and they sound SPECTACULAR.
Cheers
Paul
