Hi Bent,
That is a truly beautiful guitar!
The craftmanship looks awesome and something to be proud of.
Please say hello to Dale Rivard for me - I finally had the pleasure of meeting him at a show last year.
He's a very nice guy and great player.

| Very good looking steel, and the tone is great! Reminds me of a ShoBud. Were the recordings made with the single coil pickup or the humbucker? |

Lane, thanks. Per, thanks as you see, I am still proudly displaying the logo you expertly designed.
Roy, Thanks so much... Nice to hear that assessment from you - a seasoned musician.
Lee, Thanks for your kind words. Yes, I will say hi to Dale from you. We will meet this friday since he is playing with a blues band here in London and I always go listen. Dale is one of those people who is just a great person and a pro at his craft. No attitude but at the same time confident in his abilities.
Paul thanks...Those tunes were played using my own single coil, wound to 14.5 K.I am pleased to hear that there is very minimal hum in my pickups.
Chris thanks so much. Yes, the weight is something that should be mentioned:
Steel W/case - 52.6 lb (23.9 kg)
Steel without case 37.2 lb (16.9 kg)
Kevin Hatton case 15.4 lb (7 kg)

A very pretty guitar. Each of your guitars looks more pro as you progress.

John, Thanks! The fingers are brass, with the string going thru the finger instead of using the pin.

Bent
What I like is that you are striving not to stay with your original concept, but instead introducing little radical changes here and there with each new model. This ensures progression and innovation. Your cabinets are extremely tasteful, and the undercarriage is clean and uncluttered. Most importantly, your guitars have good tone.

Ken, thanks for noticing. Yes it seems pretty hard to stay with the original plans. Like the next guitar to be started shortly, I have to re-think my idea on the string fastening(string-thru-hole in finger)This is because I need more space for the pickup cavity.
I still want a fastening method so that the string won't slip off during mounting.
