I like the 58, what's the scale length?

24.75" on these. its odd, i once tried 25" on a different design and it felt too floppy, so i went a tad higher for my standard scale, but this scale feels just right on these ones. odd.

Both look outstanding, especially the colour on the GT - any sound clips?

Sweet guitars, especially the 58. The upperbout could be a tad more fluid and perhaps a little bit smaller, but that's just my taste. And I'm a traditionalist when it comes to inlays. I like dot's (so oldfashioned, but...)

Interresting...I kinda like how the end of the fretboard gives a cool dynamic to the designs.
Always nice to see some new designs that are not hidious^^

Really nice looking guitars. I'm not totally keen on the curves, but they could grow on me  :D Both guitar still looks ace though!
