Whoa! And good choice! USB chord would proud of your design choices. John is a wizard with maple. I’ve played a few.

I compared it against several of the carbons that I already have (including a Blackbird El Capitan) and really enjoyed the tone and playability but given my preference for a slightly wider neck I figured it was worth going the custom route for the neck. |

I bought an X7 with a 24-25 multi-scale and 1 13/16 nut width - am very happy with it as a travel / worry-free guitar.

What custom guitar commissions are you expecting delivery on in 2023?
So many exciting builds already on the calendar for this year, hopefully we’ll get some build threads to follow these along. For my part, I’ll be sharing and taking delivery of:
Wilborn Sidewinder in Mahogany / Adirondack Halland DC-H in Black & White Ebony / Moon Spruce.

Hoping to get this in my hands next week. I asked for a straight shooting Dreadnought (Adi/Mahogany). Built by Ciaran McNally.
If it plays as well as it looks it will be worth hearing:

I’ll should be getting a new Marchione soon. Can’t wait! It’ll likely be the last guitar I buy. I’m selling all of my electric and acoustic gear to afford it. I’m simplifying my life. I will be down to the new guitar and my old SCGC OMC that I’ve played for thousands of hours as a backup/cheap guitar.

I am expecting a classical from a local Vietnamese Luthier called QUYET GUITAR https://www.facebook.com/guitarsquyet.pham.
My custom build will be using a set of Dalbergia cochinchinensis or Tracwood below and Canadian Cedar |

Is your luthier using double sides etc. to protect against this? Cheers, Steve |

And, more importantly, Dalbergia cochinchinensis is on CITES Appendix II, and it seems that Vietnam has banned exports until at least 2027: https://cites.org/eng/news/viet-nam-...gered-rosewood so it seems you may not be able to get it out of the country (at least not legally).

Does anyone have opinions on a pickup for a nylon crossover? I usually use the K&K Mini on steel strings.
