Thanks for the comments.

Yes a Keef influence has crept into the design.A cutaway seemed a useful choice - more difficult on a conventional cigar box - unless you can find a box for 2 sizes of cigar -rare

I have set it up for slide  mostly but interesting how much difference removing a string makes you just can't help playing rock'n'roll on this baby!

nice cutaway

Very nice.   The Stones and others took off that 6th string for open G or D.   Relic looks are my thing, - but this is just mighty fine.  The woods, THE FRET MARKERS,  the lines.   Will give you a 9 on a 10 point scale.  (I am a hard grader.)
