Interesting concept. One size fits all occasions. Not sure I like the overal shape though, minor technical detail.

There are some other vids from the show underneath the main window, Linda Manzer, Ken Parker e.t.c They didn't include Jeffery's seismic guitar though :(

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

The guy who is talking on the first vid that played automatically when I visited the site has a very strong swiss-german accent... :roll: :lol:

Thanks for the link, Nick.

thanks for the link Nick.

I like the concept, but I not too sure if I like the idea of the 'one screw' neck. I think that I would be more comfortable removing the strings to change the insert and have a more solid neck joint. :)

Yes. There are not many Swiss luthiers who go to Montreal, and the one who goes probably on a regular basis hasn't made many not odd shaped guitars so far, I believe. I was told that the prices fit the shape of his guitars.
