No particular reason.
It's cause I work from a 14 fret template and make adjustments. Sometimes the soundhole moves sometimes not. I've noticed that it has zero bearing on the sound of the guitar. One day I will make a dedicated 13 fret template... |

Ed, any other shapes in your options that offer a smaller body, but with depth like the NL? Like a deep body OM? My NL is pretty balanced but it totally has that old Gibson smaller boxy sound in some positions, though I can adjust it somewhat.

Moving your hand in relationship to the bridge is is what makes the difference, as you're hitting the stringin a different place.

different shapes, different sounds. the NL is a Gibson shape so it is going to have a small body Gibson sound no matter how deep you make it. martin shape is going to...well you know. A deep body OM would deepen the sound but why? Maybe you have a purpose for that but the OM has its purpose which it accomplishes very well. there are some that think hole placement makes a dif but Ed has given you his almost scientific experience with it. No dif. big dif where the bridge is, what it weights, where the bracing is underneath it, how tall it is, yes its a major tuner.

My Halcyon is a Lutz/Primavera OM. I have a SC NL -- these two battle in my head for #1 spot:-). You had recommended the NL or OM, and did. build me an OM and later I bought an older H13. I am wondering what that would sound like with a torrefied Lutz top over rosewood:-)

And Ed, after indulging in some more expensive guitars, I am just more attached to my H OM. Halcyon obviously forgoes the bling, which I prefer. As to my questions, there is a method to my madness. Played my Halcyon for almost 2 hours tonight with a bunch of people singing campfire style, and it was a blast! First time a couple player friends played it, one wouldn't stop (fine because she's much better than me) ... her comment handing it back was that you should get a dealer around here!

Hi PJ,
Glad that the universe is back in order, knowing that your Halcyon is indeed an OM. Coincidentally, we have a run of NL-00's going through in different wood combos. Sitka/Rosewood Lutz/ Rosewood Lutz/Rosewood Torrefied Lutz/Rosewood Torrefied Lutz/walnut I'm going to try to make short vid clips of each. We'll see what transpires in reality. However, it is possible to make pretty much all of the small bodied guitars deeper for more whumf. |

Just put down a deposit on a Halcyon NL-00, Lutz Top, Black Walnut B/S, Ebony Fingerboard, 1 3/4" nut. It will be fun to follow the process. Hope to get it next Spring! I put this on a separate thread, but I thought I would share it with you Halcyon Folks!

Welcome to the family brother. I'm fired up because I think my build should get started in a month or less( although I don't have confirmation on that from Ed).

Good choice! My Sitka/Rosewood NL-00 is currently out for delivery. I should have it in my possession shortly.
