Yes a Keef influence has crept into the design.A cutaway seemed a useful choice - more difficult on a conventional cigar box - unless you can find a box for 2 sizes of cigar -rare
I have set it up for slide mostly but interesting how much difference removing a string makes you just can't help playing rock'n'roll on this baby!
Very nice. The Stones and others took off that 6th string for open G or D. Relic looks are my thing, - but this is just mighty fine. The woods, THE FRET MARKERS, the lines. Will give you a 9 on a 10 point scale. (I am a hard grader.)
