It occurs to me that there might need to be some standardization of spelling. GrAybeard…or GrEybeard?
Shall we spell this like Americans (with an A) or like the English (with an E)? My bro tells me this is named for a mountain in NC…perhaps they (thay?) know?
HAHA you make a very good point Steve... A quick google search returned this:

However, being the beneficiary (and co-designer of the shape if I may unabashedly and embarrassingly proclaim) of the pioneer guitar made in this form I went back to my emails with John and also my build thread and the day it was given its name, these letters were written on the mould:

So I guess I'm down if it needs to be changed. I think John mentioned before Kinnaird is of Scottish descent is that why he spells like non-American? Haha.
