Well, on a 14 fret to the body design, it's a no-brainer… Not so on a 12 fret design.
Good luck with this stunning instrument, I am sure it will sound as good as it looks.

I had to laugh when I saw the subject. My first name is Raymond and the nickname my in-laws hung on me is Kraut, I guess it is because of my German ancestry.

Beautiful work on the guitar, I wish I had that kind of talent.

I just LOVE the look of Raymond's guitars. Now,,, if I could only get my hands on one.

I am very impressed with the OM Ray built for my store. Sound-clip coming soon.

Here's a shot of the detail;

Larry , It looks great !!!! ... That massive heel block must lend incredible stability to the structure of the guitar...

[Billy Boy]

Beautiful guitar, Larry! What electronics will you have placed into your guitar?

Very cool though, I hope it turns out to be everything you want it to be and more!

Great guitar, Larry. I guess you are enjoying the Talisker on the board in the back together when you visit Ray
