I love the idea, construction and shape. I would like to know more about how the neck was constructed around that brass bar. I guess its like a normal truss rod as in the fretboard goes over it.

This explains how the neck works. ''sustainum'' :18:

Actually how does that work? If the wood part is free from any tension how does turning that screw at the heel change the relief? The wood must rest on the bar and move with it. Otherwise it wouldn't be adjustable. :smash: think raph!

Normally i don't like the look of the machine heads on the body but with that shape it works. If it had a pointy headstock the thing would look metal as yo mumma
