Hey Mark, I have never really thought about it that way and you're right! But I didn't expect any less from such an experienced luthier such as yourself to pick that out

I am quite inexperienced in design myself (even with my father being an architect and sister being a fashion designer), and I did attempt to guide Joel on the design aspects, only to realise that he would be better left off to his own devices hahaha I realised that although certain designs might seem simplistic or random, these luthiers really expend a lot of thought and creativity and logic behind even the smallest details. They really have one of the toughest jobs in the world!
