Really interesting. I've heard mixed reviews about the guitars, but there is no doubt they are well made and thought out.
John - do you sell the machines with the form fitting cauls and the solid full profile forms like the one at PRS? Or is that their proprietary fixture?

I have a self adjusting cawl that will handle all the radii. PRS when they did this had the design ready so they decided to go with the discreet waist cawls as designed. At last count they had 5 machines running.

All I can say is that I've seen Martin Simpson a couple of times recently, once in a folk club with around 120 other people and once on a concert stage. His PRS guitars sounded fantastic in both settings with a rich, natural response.

Ian - sure, but sounding fantastic with a rich, natural sound isn't everything!!
Wait...what did I just say?? :-)
Seriously, I was just passing on a few things I've read, and I should know better...I haven't heard one in person, let alone played one. I stand corrected!
