I have wanted one for 15 years, now I got to figure out how to play it! This guitar also has a multi-scale neck, 24.9-25.4 inch. I started with one of my 15 inch bout patterns, I don't build with forms, and went from there. I am enjoying the sound already, usually takes a few weeks. I think I'll try the multi-scale again, I believe it really adds to the sound quality. Specs: Sycamore body, walnut neck and harp head. Head plates, binding and bridge-Bloodwood. Waverly tuners, with ebony buttons. Ebony unslotted bridge pins on all except the bottom three harp strings. Rosettes-ebony,maple and bloodwood. French polish finish. Clinton
