62burst Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 So close, yet...! 'Hard to believe it wasn't made as a slothead. Nonetheless, I would love to hear what that sounds like. Also- 8+ full frets out over the the body. Corner of the 'board in past the rosette. Would the sound hole be located a little more towards the bridge?

larryp58 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I agree, I'd love to hear what it sounds like. I bet walnut has a sound all it's own. Cool find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetMarie Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yea..... I don't get it? Explain the 12 fret' date=' oh mighty guru's......... The upper bout on a 12-fret is larger than on a 14-fret, so they are more resonant...it's really a noticeable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvguit Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I think it also has to do with the bridge being positioned a little farther south than on a 14 fretter, more of a "sweet spot" kind of location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
