Excellent, it does sound as good as it looks. Probably the brilliantist guitar I've ever seen, and I've made that word up just for this! Seriously, I think this is fabulous work.

For the tuning Lonman I use the A, D, G & B strings from a normal pack and tune to G D G B

Wow.  That is a great accomplishment.

Sounds like that build can handle everything from - Rockabilly to Hawaiian - with any style of Blues in between. (Adding that Bigsby was inspired.) Great looks and sound! Well done!

Very well done indeed... :-)
