Presentation of a new custom 8 string

Some woodworkers embed coins in their work as a date stamp.

Looks like a nice build, but it's hard to tell from the blurry cameraphone pics... maybe clean your lens.

One question, though... this guitar and the first one don't have any visible truss rod access. How is the truss rod adjusted?

That thing is a beauty. Not my cup of tea body shape wise, but nice none the less.

How is the truss rod adjusted?

The truss rod is adjusted from body side. There is a special wood cover that in not noticable because it is made from the same wood as a body.

Interesting, though I'd like to see better fret access. It's kind of pointless to have that many extra frets if you can't even use them. Not bad otherwise, though. What is that screw in the middle of the body by the pickup for? Is that the cover for the truss rod?

I dont need any frets down 26. So it was a luthier idea to make 30 for a cool look and etc. For normal playing purposes fret acess is just perfect.

I dont think that it is gotoh system. It is a luthier system.

And why?

 

[nespythe]

I like it. As in, I really, really like it.

Really pretty work! Have to agree, a good choice in the sculpted upper horn in order to keep things kindly while in a playing position. Thanks for sharing!
