I'm not the target for that thing, but damned if it isn't impressive, even to a moron like me!

I actually saw Jack play a 6 string this weekend. Fretless even.

Looks great. Is it too early to start asking questions about neck width, scale length, etc?

I hope we'll see JM playing one of these later on this year! Not holding my breath, but a guy can dream! (no pun intended)

Guys I told them to post this just to keep you in from the beginning. You will see many revisions and tweaking and as usual with prototypes your input will be ignored~!!!!!!

I appreciate all of the well intentioned design comments but for this to work you guys are spectators.....

I have ordered the body to be increased by 2-3%...we will se that one next....
