That looks kind of ... expensive!  So much work gone into it compared to the normal slightly complicated plywood.  British version of that Anthony Jackson Fodera?

 

about which they say:

 

"The starting list price for a Anthony Jackson Presentation II is $35,200 and after your $10,000 deposit, you will have a remaining balance of $25,200 plus shipping"  ahem.

This is one of my favourite designs. I would love to hear it played, there aren’t many demos out there.

I’m gonna do some recording with it later today 😌
