My guitar bouzoukis have been pretty popular since I started making them - I used the same body shape to come up with my Session King tenor guitar. Recently I used the same shape again to come up with a 16 frets to the body acoustic guitar that lets you capo up the "dusty end." Pretty smart eh? I'm calling this the Model G, as it's the guitar bouzouki body shape. Now my guitar bouzouki's usually have a "HO" or cylinder top soundboard design. This beauty has a SS style soundboard - my "standard soundboard" which is based on the old Stefan Sobell arching, but updated with my own current way of bracing. Nigel www.nkforsterguitars.com

Interesting. I have a new song which I want to play in C sus 4 tuning, mainly because of the rythmn. I have to sing it in F (capo 5) which is cutting the space at the high end somewhat. I can see the value in the two extra frets.

those pointy bits look dangerous when playing sitting down! Can't argue with the sound though - lovely! Keith
