I like that Don - it shows a wonderful balance to the aesthetic as I feel that a few of the designs out there look a little "agricultural" and more functional than harmoniously integrated (if this makes sense)

It definitely works visually for me, as you say it flows.

I love harp guitars and was lucky enough to play one at Dusty Strings - a once in a life time opportunity for an Australian to play a harp guitar!!

I'm waiting with baited breadth to see more of yours

With a bridge like that you're almost talking making the guitar part a "Multiscale" or fan fret. Lol, which is making this thread harder to look at for the lust factor its incurring. (Kidding) The thought process here is cool!

Spot on Jay! I would say it‘s more a “drool factor” and I need to cover my keyboard while looking at the pics...

Can’t wait to see it started!

Look great, Eric! When will it be started?

Can you tell me a bit about the fan fret you guys decided on? What will the scale lengths be? As the proud owner of a fan fret guitar I love hearing about them. It looks like the first fret is the perpendicular one on the CAD drawing, is that correct?

Kindly,
Danny

Here's an interesting thread from the Offical Luthiers Forum, Harp guitar with multiscale fretboard. http://luthiersforum.com/forum/viewt...&hilit=+belair

What an elegant sense of line and flow that design has, nothing super radical or bizzare, just an understated beauty.

Congratulations.

Eric, that looks great. Will the guitar fretboard be straight at the nut?
