Beautiful little guitar! I also like the silhouette of the unique bridge.

I can imagine it will look spectacular.

WOW, that guitar is a step beyond all before and that says a lot as you guys have made many stunning instruments including for me!

nacluth · #**201** 03-01-2018, 03:34 PM

Thanks Dan. We think it’s a nice little bridge.

Wow Tom, that’s saying a lot knowing what we did on yours. I’m not sure we put this at the top of decorative themes, but our customer loves it, so it’s satisfying.

Thanks Dan, glad you like the outline! I believe you'll like the bridge itself once in place.

And thanks to you as well, Tom. Working with Christie is a lot like working with you and Dennis. In that you push us out of the comfortable ruts we fall into, and make us discover new territory. It's a blast!

This looks lovely! I really like the look and the idea of a smaller bevel. It would seem to have just about the same advantages, in terms of comfort, as a larger bevel, but isn't as intrusive on the top. Is this being done for aesthetics, or do you believe the smalller bevel also is more advantageous for the sound? I think some builders feel a larger bevel takes away valuable surface area from the top.

Yes and yes. Thanks for the kind word, Mike!
