What you say about falcate and x-bracing sounds interesting, Chris. Maybe it will be possible one day to directly compare two guitars with the same body dimensions and similar woods, one with falcate, the other with x-bracing. I don't think this has ever been done before. I'm looking forward to hearing your descriptions of how this one sounds once it's finished.
Yes, I'm back in Germany. Not too far from Italy -interesting project, the adjustable neck seminar- at least for someone coming from Texas, or Chile
