Bummer, the neck is separating already! Beautiful guitars! Not sure about the honeycomb yet, I would like to see one in person. But that could be expensive. Is the honeycomb just cosmetic or is a design choice?

Is there some reasoning behind the Sable's elongated headstock? Looks like a 12 string headstock.

I guess that would allow them to use the same mould for a 12 .


EDIT: As soon as I wrote this I realised it would have to be a different width ... duh

Maybe the headstock part is a separate mould from the rest of the neck ?

Maybe they just like the look ?
Quite a few boutique guitars have a lot more headstock than is strictly needed, but I suppose it is better proportioned looking.

The other end of the scale being eg a Seagull headstock, or a Telecaster.
