So, with the missing knob arrived, final finished pics
As always, thanks for the fantastic support and tips and tricks you have all generously given along the way
I would like one.
A couple of times, friends have gone pale - after agreeing with me that something might be maybe shaped a little differently - when I immediately get out the rasp file and hack into the gleaming beauty, there and then. "Something like that?" I ask, as they sway from the shock.
Well - I'm just about to do the same here. Having played this myself over a couple of days, and having just watched someone whose objective opinion I greatly respect play it, I'm going to get the micro-plane rasps out tomorrow and create some sawdust
This is what it looks like at the moment:
And this is what I think it should look like:
Yes - it's subtle but I think it will make a big difference to the playability.
In summary -
It will only take 1/2hr to make the changes, but it will then, of course, need refinishing. But that itself is an opportunity because I'm going to give the Gloss version of the Osmo one more go - but applied closer to how it is supposed to be applied than how it's been applied above.
This, of course, means a complete strip-down but what the heck - what else am I going to do in the evenings?!
Oh...just to add. My contact runs a very successful guitar and music shop and - with me allowing maybe a smidgin of smugness to creep in - I feel obliged to mention that he loved the neck profile and feel. Took a while to get my swollen head through the shop door back onto the street
Pete - our band's bassist is having his first go playing the Swift Lite - and for a bassist, he's not a bad 6-string player Forgive the intrusive saxophone (played by yours truly) and the highly questionable vocals (bet you can't guess who's THOSE are):

The guitar is now doing the rounds of a few regular players I know to get some collective feedback of how it could be improved for any future development build.
