I watched every second of the video. Your enthusiasm is captivating - and that guitar sounds amazing. I'd love to see and hear it in the hands of Michael Watts - maybe he should pay you a visit?

The notion of a fanned scale between the two 'standards' of 25.5 and 24.9 is new to me - it's gentle and not so visually jarring as most other common options. It's tough to tell from the video (and maybe it's been mentioned earlier in the thread), but where's the parallel fret? Looks like around 10th? Great idea.

I suspect that this is going to be a hard one for you to ship out

Hey, thank you very much. Well, I am taking it to B.I.G. this weekend where Michael is slated to be. Maybe he'll do me the honor of strumming a few chords!

The parallel fret is at the 14th fret, where it joins the body. That makes things nice and square at the joint....

Oh, yeah, it's often hard to say goodbye. But the good news is that I have the recipe. I'm even making one similar to Bucephalus for Dream Guitars right now...

Now for a bigger back bevel, Manzer Wedge, and a 12 fret cut.

. Haha. CU Friday
