Cheers Anders, I'm really enjoying playing this guitar. The action is very low, so no bottle neck playing. I've got it tuned D G B E, like the top 4 strings of a 6 string in standard tuning, and it really chimes.

I'll try and post a video soon.

Cheers John. I still get the fear even thinking about scarf joints, but this one turned out okay. The black ash has a lovely pattern, you can sort of see it one the photo. I felt bad staining the board, but I wanted it darker and luckily the pattern shows through.

Gorgeous.  Nice scarfing and work.   Black ash-  a new one to me.   I once made a bunch of hall trees (freestanding coat hangers) out of ash and thought it a great wood.
