......No, not me, just my latest guitar on it's way to a customer in Yokohama. This is one of my 14 fret to the body nylon strings. A very simple design with E.I. rosewood body, European spruce top and simple tortoise binding (no purflings) and a matte nitrocellulose laquer finish. This is the third of these to go to Japan and is identical to the two which I've made for Noel Stookey over the years.

Very elegant. I like the back/heel treatment. Sound clip? |

Nice looking! What does the inside look like? It looks like the bridge has moved towards the neck some? As opposed to truncating the upper bout? Maybe a little of both? |

The bracing is the same as I regularly use in my guitars Jim, though somewhat shifted forward to accomodate the new bridge position. A bit of extra width in the body also keeps the top at the right flex for a good response. Attachment: StookeyTsuneyasu-002.jpg
