It's a beauty. I'm kind of smitten with the truss rod cover as well. Why is it a hybrid? |

That's a nice looking guitar Colin! A hybrid is next on my list after I finish the fan-fret steel string I'm on now. |

I'm one of the ones who had no idea what a hybrid is. I'm from Detroit; I think cars. I did see an all electric Mustang Monday in the parking lot at a car show. Doesn't look like a Mustang. That DOES look like a guitar. A fine one. I'm thinking many are going to use your truss rod idea. How many ways can it be done? |

That Rosewood back looks great. And the whole aesthetic works well. I’ve been working from the other side. Making steel strings with a wide fretboard - up to 49 mm and as low an action as possible for the finger style player. I think this crossover type of build is potentially a winner for the small builder as more players want explore different sounds. Dave |
