Charlie--Many thanks for the kind words and glad your enjoying it.
This might be a good place to post a couple pics of recently completed 8 strings.
The maple one is a sort of bare bones, travel steel for a touring multi instrumentalist.No controls (he uses a vol. pedal and effects).I didn't get a chance to string it up but it should be a powerfull item.
The other is a prototype that has been kicking around the shop because I wasn't thrilled about the shape.I decided to finish it to see how I liked the wood.
It is Jatoba, a dense hardwood also called Brazilian Cherry.So far( a couple days ) I like it.Very heavy and great sustain. I've used it some in cabinetry. It looks nice and is low priced.We'll see.
