I'm not a big fan of the half-moon design of the rear, but I bet it sounds great.

That actually looks like it would be a fun instrument to play. Thanks for sharing!

Looks quite impressive. It will get the job done fine with that pickup arrangement.

That does look fun! From the overhead view it looks spectaculous.
I like the curve and how he kept the theme at the headstock ends.

Wonder what it weighs in at...

I've heard good things about these metal steels, but am still skeptical til hearing one, or heavens, a hands on experience.

Beautiful, but a couple of omissions:

...should be cut-away alongside the fretboards.
...outer neck should be elevated for playing clearance.

I actually have two fouke steels joined together to make a D6. The far neck has elevated action and I explained why I needed it done that way. I'm surprised he didn't use that arrangement with this specimen.

That thing looks like it could be outfitted with missiles to fly missions over Iraq! Winking
