    Very nice guitar in it's own way. One question, tho. It might just be the angle you took the pic, but in the last shot the action looks monstrous. That on purpose cuz you use it as a slide-only (the scalloped frets speak against this theory, tho) or is it just a trick to the eye?

    The action is not as high as it looks. In fact when I took these pics it was a bit too high since I just tuned the guitar to E and did not set it up. Normally this axe is set up to Eb tuning. But there is also some optical illusion involved I think.
