Just a few days old, it already has a piano-like sound! I took liberty in modifying certain structural elements. I built this guitar with a barreled top arch which tapers slightly to the neck. This allows me to set the neck flat and maintain a perfect string clearance without putting a forward set on the neck. The result is a fingerboard that feels more consistent and extremely easy to play.
