Lovely looking bits of wood, francis, put together in a wonderful way. All we need now are some soundclips from sweyne1 - when's it getting collected? |

We need to hear this! If it's anything like the previous Triple 0 it'll be superb.
Enjoy getting to know each other John.
Francis, the best way to get over this one is to crack on with another build....

Keith It's better than the previous one: Louder, great sustain, broad range giving good bass and treble responses (then I could be bias...  ) |

Thank you very much Francis. The guitar is just beautiful. I think I can honestly say ladies and gents that it's even more gorgeous in real life than in Francis' excellent photos. And that's saying something. John  |

As ever, Francis, an absolute beaut. Nothing too flashy or new-fangled - unlike some I could name  . Just a lovely piece of woodwork. |

Did you do any tap numbers or other frequency analysis?
Lovely looking instrument, by the way.
