    Congrats - very nice.  Never heard of this make or seen one of these before - interesting take on a classic.  But very expensive!  Just did a quick search and these new (although you can specify the p/up layout you want) are $5600!

    The neckplate really sells the whole thing to me, I know in the grand scheme of things it's a little detail with no consequence in terms of sound but it's the kind of thing that would make me smile every time I picked it up.

    @prlgmnr its the little details that reveal the most..the colour of the hardware is perfect (IMO) in relation to the guitar and the fact that after building somethin so well, the laurels arent rested on and he can be arsed to do things like the neck plate...shows a lot of pride i think

    Very similar to the Fano neck plate, of course - I wonder who came up with it first?

  • That does look like an amazing instrument. Enjoy!!

    Would be interested in you clarifying why you think this is the case;

    well the playability seems better to me...the Gustavsson feels incredibly "right" in my hands anyway..playing is "effortless"..a lot of little moves i was doing well before have just become easier, the collings build quality is obviously as good as it probably gets, but IMO this guitar feels like its been around for a long and been played a lot..there seems to be a sense of familiarity 

    I struggle to not sound like a pretentious twat  but it just feels like a more playable, smoother, more rounded, more mature guitar..@grappagreen

    Cool - some guitars just do that for you and it's a great place to be. Glad you're happy with it!
