I love the sound of the Weissenborn style guitars, and yours sounds great.

Very cool Alan! It sounds like a pick up in that one? If so what do you use? It sounds great.

Cheers,
Danny

Thanks Danny.
That's just acoustic,
recorded on an I-Phone.
Some day I'll do some real recordings with all my gits,
for comparisons.

The sound of that Wiess so soothing.
I would be interested in building one but will it fit in the overhead on the plane ride to Hawaii next year. I think that an ukulele might be more appropriate.

Where did you get the plans for it?

That little box puts out a lot of sound, good work. Impressed by the quality of the iPhone too.

Hey, I made a mistake here.
That is a Koa weiss style, not a "Kona".
Sorry, the Kona is still not done yet.
Anyway, I'm having some issues with the top on this Weiss.
I'll start a thread that one of these days for some advice!
Thanks!
