So the Harley Benton headless was fun but really it served the same function as my Soloway Gosling but didn't sound as good. It would be a great travel guitar but I have my little Emerald X7 for that and seriously, what are the odds of my going anywhere outside of Atlantic Canada in the next year or so. So I sold it locally and looked for something that would do a better job at filling a greater need.
That leads me to to probably the oddest guitar purchase I've ever made. An old customer pointed me towards this one several months ago. He thought it was based on our Single 15 design (maybe so) and it also has the extra wide spacing that we offered. On the other hand, it 's 24.75" scale length, a beautiful set-neck joint and the builder (Erkem Ozkarpat from Turkey) built guitars played by Cenk Erdogan, one of my favorite current guitarists. I kept watching as no one bought this guitar (despite a fairly modest price) and yesterday I made an offer that was accepted. It ships tomorrow and we'll see how long it takes to get from Maryland to Nova Scotia.

BTW, Ekram built this double neck for Cenk Erdogan...

I've seen a similar neck joint on the Fender Adkins Telecaster.
