I would be trusting to Nick on the impact of a short scale.

Builders generally know where their sweet spots are, and what they can achieve, and I tend to trust them. He's been building for a long time.



I have a 14 fret - OM and would not change a thing. It's a delightful guitar. Light, with impressive and startling dynamics. I've had many people comment on the sweetness and engulfing tone they hear.



Look forward to seeing the end result.

How do you improve on perfection! Exactly!
