In one of the shipping videos Alistair said he wanted to add teal as a finish option.

I wonder if they’ll add some more pickup choices. I’ve seen a few go out with just the K&K installed, and I know there are several folks who’d like to see other LR Baggs options, like the Anthem.
I’d like to see visualizations for things like the fan fret options, and the ability to choose different CF finishes for the top, back and sides. I know they can build them

I hope they don't start offering the LR Baggs Anthem StagePro again. I've threatened for quite some time that if they offered that pickup system again I just might have to do a custom order...

If I was a coffee drinker, I would have spit it out on my keyboard.

The Anthem is a great system but the best I've used by far was the Fishman Aura in a Martin. I've always wondered what an X20 or X10 would sound like with the Aura installed...

I am hoping for neck width "slimming" the shoulders without changing the string spacing.

I’d imagine that would be a design refresh, rather than a customization. I wonder how many customers (or potential customers) have asked for such a mod?

You may be correct, but they offer various neck widths now. Unfortunately they all cost extra money. I would like to see them harmonize, standardize, normalize? their default neck width/spacing profiles.

Understood. To be pedantic, it’s nut width that you can specify, not neck width. What effect that choice may have on the neck width as you move up it would seem to be indeterminate.

They confirmed that all the steel string necks have the same bridge string spacing of 57mm. The string spacing at the 12th fret went from 47 mm at 45 neck to 49 mm on the 48mm neck. |
