The String Butler sure improves a LP style headstock's tuning consistency.

Black and gold goes so well together. Like strawberries and chocolate.

I'm planning to do the same with my EC1000 but I'll go with Fishman Fluence Classic and not EMGs.

My two new Electro Acoustic Guitars: A Takamine Steel String and a Lamancha Nylon.
Lamancha is a german guitar manufacturer with in my opinion good sounding and affordable guitars.

Absolutely Beautiful

Here's an oldie but goodie (35 years old!) Westone Spectrum DX. All original including the magnaflux pups, locking trem system and push/pull coil split. I had a fret job done on it about 2 years ago.

ST wow. That is awesome!
Just looked at their website. Very interesting stuff.
How does it play and sound?
What sort of price point are they hitting?
I am fascinated by the use of alternative materials and ergonomics and want to create a custom series of sustainable, ergonomic instruments (both acoustic and electric) as my guitar building develops. -
Hi, Alan.
Thanks for your interest.

I am fascinated by the use of alternative materials and ergonomics and want to create a custom series of sustainable, ergonomic instruments (both acoustic and electric) as my guitar building develops.It's a wonderful guitar. It's light, well balanced (no neck diving), the hollow-body thing is real (the way it resonates acoustically comes through in the sound). And yes, the Flaxwood (composite material) is stable as temperature and humidity fluctuate.
I've never seen another one here in Canada. I swapped straight-across for an older custom shop Strat that had never worked for me. The other guy had given up trying to find his holy grail guitar (the very model Strat that had been languishing in the case for years.) In despair and to satisfy his GAS he imported the Flaxwood Liekki to try something new - and it wasn't a good fit for him. About the same time, I found one of his old 'Want to Buy' ads he had placed before he gave up and got the Flaxwood. A few hours later, we were both happy with the swap.
Price point? Strangely, they are all over the map.
Here's a review from 2009 - Premier Guitar

The back looks like some kind of medieval steam-punk food processor. No way I'm holding that thing next to my pelvic region!

That is gorgeous @ST, I wouldn't even care what it sounded like, I would just hang it on the wall!

None of ergonomic stuff. I’m about to start building a Klein clone though.
I am currently working on 4 acoustics as part of my college course (Stringed Instrument Making and Repair). Everything else so far is just practice really. -
loving the Bandsman.. Wheresthedug

I’ve reshaped the headstock and inlaid it with MOP since I originally made it.
It definitely looks better with the non-PRS style. -
Alan,
Wow! Those look great. Respect.
How big is this one? Is that like a Les Paul or an ES 336?
