    Stunning craftsmanship!

  • @riverryan6216

    Artisanally excellent, but I feel like this was a seriously missed opportunity to just make a 7-string instead of the free floating "7th ring"

    • @adairguitars
      @adairguitars  2 роки тому +4

      I was very tempted to do that, but I knew I wouldn’t play it much as a seven string. Had to go for long term playing for me in the end. 👍

    As I watched you hack away at that neck with Gimli's axe, I heard Treebeard's voice in my head saying "Now, don't be hasty, Master Adair..."
