I will just add my loud "Bravo" to those above. Glowing.

Thanks, Laurent. I like the steel tube/walnut dowel idea. I've been thinking about a wood-filled CF tube for the same purpose.

Beautiful work, Laurent. I too love those purflings. Now that you have done a fully adjustable neck do you think you will do many more? Also, do you think it was an advantage to try more than one new idea at the same time?

Laurent:

As others have mentioned, "stunning" and "elegant" are the words that come immediately to mind.

This is one of those guitars that make me want to hide all of mine in the closet.

Great work!

Ken, yes I will do more tilt-necks.
This is my 2nd and I see only one small detail I want to change for the next ones.
Trying more than an new idea at the same time can be fruitless. Then to which new idea can be attributed the change(s) in tone, feel etc. if any?
This is why I usually try one new thing at a time, this was an exception.

Very elegant and a real beauty. I like the finish too. I bet it looks even better in person.

I had the chance to see and play it last weekend in Montreal. It does look better in person!
