That guitar is really "Zumthing"..Ok it had to be said.
Seriously, "the best sounding guitar I have ever owned" is noteworthy.
Gonna have to try one of those. |

| Jim, I don't know how they have achieved the sound on this little guitar but it sustain's for ever, even without been plunged in it is loud, The big E always grabbed the back legs to feel the viberation from a steel, this passes the test with flying colours. I would love to know what the pick up is as it is quite shallow in height and appears to have two sets of magnets with it just sitting on top of the body, there is no tray for to sit in.. also as it is pull release there are no return springs , I believe this helps with it staying in tune so well, in fact it don't go out of tune at all. a pleasure to play, and have owned all the top steels, the only to one come close was my Sierra session uni 12. |

| Pickup - shallow is the way to go. The guass falls off at the rate if the cube of the distance. It puts the magnet closer to the strings. That is what I was after with the Tonealigner design. |

Jim, the neck is about half the height of a normal steel , as I am not near the guitar at the moment I can't tell you.
but the first stage one did not have a neck and players raved about it.... go to their site they are some sound samples there..you'll be surprised.. |
