Very nicely done. The aesthetics are beautiful. What is the advantage to an elevated fretboard?

Fred - the guitar is looking fantastic! Looks like all of the ideas you wanted to try are coming out beautifully! I like the low angle shot of the guitar from the tail where it looks like it has a cutaway.

Nice looking build. I love the ergonomics you incorporated and I bet it will have a deeper and louder voice than one expects from the size.
What neck profile and radius did you use?

The guitar got its unveiling at the Great river show in Red Wing MN yesterday, here is a video of Tim Sparks doing a demo for me at the show.

That's odd, the guitar didn't sound like that when I played it. You sure I played the same guitar?
I guess I'm just not Tim Sparks. Seriously Fred, it was nice meeting you and playing several of your guitars. But I gotta say, that Koa OM was the special one for me. Thanks for attending the show.
