I’d absolutely adore those guitars if they weren’t so damned heavy. I can’t imagine building off-cut versions will alleviate that complaint.

Aw, but I love my Yammy! 15 years on and it’s the only guitar I know will just take whatever dumb tuning I want to try, and it sounds okay doing it! :) poor little guy gets played as much as my nice ones!
