LOL Richard! Thanks for the very kind and generous comparison! The inner Roy wanted to come out from the cellar ;) I wish I could croon as smooth and effortless as Roy and Chris Isaak

Round about way to test your Roy  Orbison skills! Great cover of one of the best songs ever!  Superb performance Derek!

Thank you, Bruce! It is a fun tune to learn and play. I am always trying to get good acoustic tone, but think it is more luck than skill LOL

Thanks BrianQ! I have always loved this tuned and Chris's cool retro music style.

Thanks Dennis! I did make the neck, it is 2 pieces glued together, side to side, then the typical added bottom piece for the heal and inside for the through-neck. It is 23 1/2" scale like a Taylor mini and other travel and old parlor guitars.
