So how many builders would be willing to take on that project?
And how many of could actually pull it off stylishly and make it look like something other than a freak? Kudos.

I now understand the term "Soundcraft" in Pauls name.

Paul, the more i look at the photos the more i notice. This guitar is very impressive. I know you are a luthier but your choices, execution and style remind me of some of the best engineers i have had the pleasure to work with. Very nicely done.

Thanks again for all the kind comments, the "humble Paul" is blushing a bit.
@ Coke Zero: Yes, but not anytime soon. The client is in the middle of a major move. But when he gets me some samples, as promised, I'll be sure to post them. @ Bill Pillmore: I'm just finishing a new neck build just like yours. For some reason it was much harder than yours was. But it is all turning out very nicely. @kirkham13: You know, I half thought about just buying him the case and being done with it. Mostly because when (not "if" but "when") he breaks it, I know he's going to be coming to me to fix the darn thing. @ Brent Hutto: You know, I actually look forward to those kinds of projects. They keep things interesting and fresh for me. There are builders out there that build the same D-18 copies, guitar after guitar after guitar. And I honestly don't know how they do it. I'd go nuts. @Masao: I wish I still had it to photograph, but I had this big piece of posterboard with little sketches on it. But what made it impressive looking was the math all over it. Trig, geometry, etc. It was crazy. Looked like something that would be in DiVinci's studio. My wife makes fun of me. Rather than sitting down and watching a movie, I sit down with calculator, rules and big paper and "plan". Thanks again to everyone for the very kind comments. This was a fun one for me to work on and I glad to see that it's being at least somewhat favorably received by the public.

Geez Paul. How cool is that? Had I known you were cooking that one up I'd have slid on over to visit your shop.
Really amazing work..... Brent |

Paul - This really is an awesome instrument. From an engineering perspective what planning do you have to do to accommodate the additional tension on the top? In terms of bracing patterns, etc? Are these kind of adjustments done just by gut feel or is there some calculation involved?

Sounds like something I would order from In-N-Out burger! Only difference is, you only need a simple math to do that order right. Very nice guitar Paul, I'm sure you earned a couple of more fans here in AGF with that guitar!
