The one cool thing on this one was the harphead plate was also my first to pre- install ! having the last build mold helps ...I knew were to place it and it was dead on....That took me 3 harp guitar to get this right...really....my other thing was slimming down the neck ...and fret board ..more like a elec guitar
am thinking more for a smaller hand ...person ...am alway getting this ...make the neck smaller ...ok so i did on this one ...if you look really close you can tell! see it.....next come shaping and fret wire ...am really making this for a girl....mmmmmmmmmmm....
