Thanks a lot for the comments!!

I've had it for a couple of weeks and tried it out to see which tuning works best for me.

It's kinda weird but I find GDGD to be the most versatile for me, easy to move from 6str open G Spanish to this one.

Gonna bring a can of moonshine and a battery amp down by the riverside some summer night and play a loong time, hehe..

This one was built by Daren Larsen in Florida, I'm sure he's around here somewhere on this forum?!

3-string version could be cool too!!
