Yes, it looks great. If you have time to string it up and see how it plays, and whether the weight is truly an issue, I'd be grateful.

@pete.young I set it up and while it looks absolutely stunning and is really quite pleasing to play, it's not as resonant a unit as I'd like it to be to sell it as an instrument. It's possible that the strings are contributing so I'm going to try a different set when I have some time this evening (I was using some medium-light rounds which were already on the body when it wore a fretted nack, I suspect some heavier flats might bring it to life a little more). Might just be one of those neck/body combinations that doesn't work all that well, but I'll try the flats and report back anyway 👍

Many thanks Chris. I was thinking TI Flats or maybe Labella LTFs, which have transformed my Epiphone Century. Can send you a used set of TIs if that would help.

I've got some similar low tension flats here Pete, I'll let you know how they work this evening. Either way, if I like it and report back, you buy it and don't like it, you can always send it back 👍
