It is lovely, Martin, but don't all those white bits of wire sticking out behind the headstock get in the way when tuning?
Also, I hate to mention this, but the guitar seems to be in 2 parts. Is it some new kind of travel guitar?

My main instrument is: probably needing new strings

I played one of these in GuitaGuitar in Edinburgh a couple of years ago. Based on the Moon0003 (one if what I have got, like) and, whilst its undoubtedly a prettier guitar (my wife is a big fan of that Remy Mackintosh/Art Nouveau styling) it didn't sound that much different to my poorly functioning ears. I'm with you though, Martin, it is an acceptable exception to the 'no bling' rule

I'm with you though, Martin, it is an acceptable exception to the 'no bling' rule I think you're spot on Leo. It wouldn't sound better at all, and may not even be as nice as your 003 model. I just like the Rennie Mackintosh style inlay work and as a bonus it's got a nice guitar attached as part of the deal

The rosette and the headstock are nice enough, but I don't like the inlays on the fretboard or the bits around the bindings. Obviously I wouldn't say no to it though!

Funnily enough the fretboard inlays are about the nicest I think I've seen, as I usually don't like fretboard markings at all. I just like the way it all flows into the one design Ah well, if I got it I'd probably get sick of it and flog it within a year anyway...
