Also I am doing final setup on a soprano classical guitar I built for my mom.

Nice...Any more details available on this build? Cool idea, and for a good cause.

I will give full details and picts soon. Basically it is a a octave flamenco guitar but I made the sides full depth so it wouldn't be thin sounding. Also being it is my first acoustic and me being me... it did almost every thing by hand even re-sawing the maple sides, it took a long time to build but I KNOW now how to build one next time [if ever] I'll make jigs a shit

Yeah, this one really moved me, I was planning on copping that color if my finish didn't work out! Also those sheets (I guess) are fucking awesome, where'd you get them?

thanks, yo! the sheets are from target...

and yeah, big fan of that colour.... i kinda want all my guitars that inca silver / black scheme now

CFA#D#GC basically it's like putting a capo on you 8th fret on a normal guitar.

You don't even know how hard your stuff blows my mind, man. I haven't wanted a bass since I got my Grabber, but now I really want one of yours. So so much.
