Excellent shots Jerry. It looks awesome.

The case I got mine in fits fine, but it is quite different to the USA cases. I suspect that the padding is hand-cut for each guitar, which might be why you got a dud.

Super cool guitar. But I think there's still something missing from those early pics....... HARP...., my good friend at work is from Galway (probably didn't spell that right) and he introduced me to half and halfs (ei Black and Tans)and I just can't get enough.

You spelt Galway (pronounced Gaul-way) correctly. It's on the West coast of the country, with a population of about 75 thousand people. It's a nice town and has a "crusty" (hippie) vibe to it. It's a great base from which to explore Connemara, which is one of the most beautiful parts of the country. But drink Harp, you must be joking? That's Ireland's answer to Budwiser!

Incidentally, "Black and Tan" would be regarded as a derogatory term here and is probably best avoided should you visit:

How bad would the neck dive be from the extra fatness of the neck?

How bad would the neck dive be from the extra fatness of the neck?

A few people have asked me this. There is some neck-dive. It would make you look silly if you're hailing the audience with both your arms in the air. However, with your right hand in the picking position, resting your arm on the body is enough for it not to be noticable when playing.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I've been away from the guitar and haven't had much chance to play it.
