I noticed that both Colin and Dave are building 13 fret neck guitars. Coincidentally, I've just completed a 13 fret neck mandola- why 13? Same reasons; relationship between scale length and desired bridge position.

You'll find a few more photos and spec on my blog

I love the sleek, elegant shape and it sounds very sweet and mellow.
