The guitar sounds lovely. Great project.

Thank you Jmat. Now that you mentioned i think you are right. It does sound like laughter. You are a poet. Bill is quite talented and I’m proud to have an instrument in his stable.

Sounds great a John. Reminds me of a player piano or a music box on steroids. What a fun sounding guitar and quite successful project.

Thanks Tim. I'm pleased with the outcome especially considering the size.

Thanks Paul. Bill had the adjustable neck option and he just kept lowering the action and I thought it was pretty low to start with but I guess one benefit of that option is the ability to play around with the action without penalty. If it gets too low just go back up no problem.

Thank you Hanter. It really does need to be heard through decent speakers or headphones to fully appreciate the tone of this little guy

Smile Adjustable neck option!

This makes me very happy. You know I love to be an instigator...

"Bill had the adjustable neck option and he just kept lowering the action and I thought it was pretty low to start with but I guess one benefit of that option is the ability to play around with the action without penalty. If it gets too low just go back up no problem."

If you do not sell more of these adjustable necks I will be VERY surprised indeed. Mine works perfectly and is almost invisible.

Go John, Go

Paul

Default Hi-Stung Guitar

I call this my "Hi-Stung Guitar", because it's temperament makes me want to play fast things. Also for me, a mandolin which has such a narrow neck it hard for me to play, but this guitar lets me get way up the neck into mandolin territory but it's still a wide guitar neck.
Lovin' it.

Good grief. Asheville is really well represented on this forum.
Thanks to all you natives for your kind words regarding the guitar and I completely agree with you regarding Bill’s talent. Quite evident it is.
