A very special NGD: a custom build that brought my ideas to life.

[Jim Soloway]

This just arrived late this morning and I've been having a good time playing it since then. I'll fill in more of the backstory later but the main features are a 24" scale length with ultra-wide fingerstyle spacing (1 13/16 at the nut and 55mm at the bridge) and a heavily chambered body that I designed. It's very much a Canadian guitar. The builder is Erik Hansen and the pickup is from MJS Custom, both in Southern Ontario.

Here's a quick first recording

And a couple of photos.
