that's quite right... I'm not sure, which term for the "heel" is the right one, but I think, we mean the same part of the guitar
to "finish" this thread in some way, here for completion some pics from the finished guitar in the workshop...

you asked for sound-samples... I know, that it was "a long time ago"... but I forgot about it...sorry... and a few days ago I remembered it and so here is a first "quick and dirty" sound-impression with a lot of mistakes and without any sound-editing....
for a better comparison I just took a second sound-sample with even more mistakes ("quicker and dirtier") with my second fanned fret Tera from Olav Loef.. hopefully you can get some impressions

Thank you, LaFaro! You do both instruments justice with your fine musicianship. The Voss has a beguiling sound and I am impressed with how open and responsive is sounds already. Love the neo-classic looks and design elements too!

Really nice to have you posting here! Welcome

Good English and beautiful guitar. I especially like the "demi bevel" on the front high string side. adds a very unique look and I bet it's quite functional as well ! congrats !!!

thanks a lot for the kind comments and words
@ psychojohn yeah the bevel is quite functional and in combination with the negative neckangle and the elevated fingerboard it's nearly some sort of "demi cutaway" and a partial replacement for a cutaway without cutting away something

Very nice guitar, and sound! Both classic and modern elements, done well...
