Chas S...that is a nice piece of machinery! Are the strings the same distance apart at both ends = 11/32"?

Chas, when describing your guitars, "integral unit" may be an understatement! Awesome.

Anyone interested in seeing pictures of my Doulbe Twelve Dekley 9 floors and 9 knees come by my booth at Scotty's and I'll be glad to show it to you.

Ed, Jack, thank you. The strings taper down to 9/32 at the bridge. I think that having the frets out to the edge of the necks, makes it look bigger than it is, even though it's a big guitar to start with.

Give it up Ray! It's like Mullen vs. Mullen.

I still play my 1979 Lefty D-10.
I am the 3rd owner. Bought it in 2002, and have not stopped playing it since I got it.
Still love my Sho-Bud LDG, but the Dekley is a great guitar.
